Closures and diversions for weekend of rail upgrade work
A big effort is being made day and night to bring work at Huddersfield station nearer to completion along with further work on the rebuilding of Deighton station on a section of line where four tracks are being restored from two. There will also be bridge and track improvements and work towards electrification of the line.
Seven stations on the Huddersfield line will be closed during the weekend — Mossley, Greenfield , Marsden , Slaithwaite and Huddersfield adding to the longer-term closure of Deighton and Ravensthorpe .
