📋 Tender Overview
Huddersfield Station Will Be Closed From Saturday 30 August Until Monday 29 September 2025 To Enable Major Transpennine Route Upgrade (Tru) Engineering Work. The Ongoing Upgrade Of The Grade I Listed Station - Which Began Over A Year Ago - Is Key To Unlocking The Benefits Of Improved Rail Travel Across The North, And This Marks The Most Significant Stage Of The Programme To Date. The Work Set For The Back End Of Summer Includes Major Track And Platform Remodelling, Which Once The Wider Rail Upgrades Are Complete In Huddersfield, Will Transform The Layout Of The Station And Enable More Trains With More Seats To Run Through The Area On A Greener, More Reliable Railway. These Upgrades Will Pave The Way For Further Infrastructure Improvements In The Near Future, With The Installation Of A New, Accessible Footbridge And The Restoration Of The Historic Grade Ii Listed Tearooms, Which Were Carefully Dismantled In 8,000 Different Pieces Last Year So They Can Be Repainted And Relocated To A New Location On The Platform. The Restoration Of The Iconic Station Roof Canopy Continues, With The Scaffolding And Coverings Of One Section To Be Removed In The Coming Weeks. The Renovation Of One Of The CountryS Remaining Few Euston Style Roofs Has Been Meticulously Planned With Engineers Preserving The CanopyS Historic Features Whilst Enhancing Its Durability For Future Generations. During This 30-Day Closure, No Trains Will Run Through The Station, With Diversionary Routes And Rail Replacement Buses In Operation To Keep Customers On The Move. Following The 30-Day Closure, Only Three Platforms Will Be In Operation On A Temporary Basis.
