en.Wedoany.com Reported - Huddersfield Station in West Yorkshire, UK, is undergoing a £70 million upgrade. Built in 1850 as a Grade I listed Victorian building, the station serves over 3.1 million passengers annually and is renowned for its neoclassical facade.

Managed by TransPennine Express, the station was listed by Lonely Planet last year as one of the nine most beautiful railway stations in the UK. It also houses The Head of Steam pub, which serves Yorkshire malt ale.

The renovation includes roof canopy repairs, platform extensions, and the relocation of a Grade II listed tea room. The Transpennine Route Upgrade project describes it as one of the most architecturally striking railway stations in the country. These works connect the station restoration with platform modifications, access improvements, and electrification-related infrastructure along the broader route.

As part of the wider Transpennine Route Upgrade, the project team describes this as a "massive" undertaking. The plan also includes the construction of a new footbridge and power enhancement infrastructure needed to support the electrification of 70 miles of the route.

The station upgrade is scheduled for completion on February 2 next year. Huddersfield Station is currently closed until June 27. According to the Huddersfield Hub, another closure is planned from Christmas Eve until February 1, 2027.

From June 6 to 7, June 13 to 14, and June 20 to 21, no trains will run from Huddersfield to Dewsbury and Leeds. The Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) says services from Manchester to Leeds will be diverted via Hebden Bridge.

Further engineering work is planned for several weekends between June and August, including the installation of new station roofs and elevators, as well as asphalt paving for the extended platforms. Work is scheduled for June 27 to 28, during which rail replacement buses or diversions via the Calder Valley line are expected.
