⚠️ Upcoming closures and
changes to services

Upgrading the Transpennine main line is a huge job. This means that, at times, we’ll need to close certain parts of the railway so we can make it more reliable and greener. When this happens, we’ll get you to where you’re going on a diversion route, or on a high quality bus or coach with comfy seats.

Here are some upcoming changes to services that might impact your journey:
Monday 3 March until Friday 7 March 2025
Trains between Huddersfield and Leeds

What’s Happening?

On weekdays between Monday 3 and Friday 21 March, major improvement works will take place on the line between Huddersfield, Dewsbury, and Leeds, affecting rail services.

During these works, we will: 

• Renew around 2,000 metres of track around Batley 

• Install overhead line equipment (OLE) foundations and main steel between Morley and Leeds 

• Renew 850 metres of drainage west of Leeds 

• Install a new maintenance storage area at Morley station

How are train services affected?

While work upgrading the line through Dewsbury and Morley is happening, some services are being diverted to keep you on trains where possible. Where this isn’t possible, rail replacement buses will run to keep you moving.

Check your journey at National Rail Enquiries or with your train operators TransPennine Express or Northern.
