Train services across the Pennines will be affected by upgrade work between Huddersfield and Dewsbury from mid-April. The work is set to take place from Saturday, April 19, to Monday, April 21, and will cause disruption over the Easter weekend. Customers are advised to plan their journeys ahead of time and check for updates at nationalrail.
co.uk. Diversionary routes and rail replacement buses will be in operation, with amended timetables in place.
Station Road in Mirfield will be closed over the Easter weekend, resulting in a longer walk than usual from the station to the rail replacement bus stop locations on Huddersfield Road. Station Road is now also closed on Saturday nights in the lead-up to Easter weekend. Andrew Campbell, sponsor for TRU, said: "We’re aware that disruption isn’t ideal, so we would like to thank the people of Mirfield and beyond for their understanding as we continue our progress in delivering major upgrades to the station.
"By the end of 2025, Mirfield station will have modernised facilities with faster, more frequent trains able to stop there in the future, meaning improved journeys across the North." Elsewhere on the route between Huddersfield and Dewsbury, TRU engineers will carry out track renewals and signal testing..
