Route Closure between Huddersfield and Mirfield, 2nd to 25th May

For passengers travelling to Leeds on weekdays during May, advance notice of closures due to TRU construction work. Getting to Leeds will involve a replacement bus between Huddersfield and Brighouse, with extended journey times. Here’s a helpful plan.

On weekdays trains will run through to Huddersfield from Manchester and Sheffield. At weekends trains from Manchester will only run as far as Marsden (and trains from Sheffield only as far as Lockwood), with replacement bus onward.

Brighouse station car park will be closed, and turned into a bus interchange. Whilst it is stated that alternative long stay parking is available in Brighouse, this coincides with Calderdale Council putting parking charges up, and Daisy Street car park being partially closed. If only someone could have had the bright idea of building a new station at Elland, with bus/rail interchange planned into the design……..

For amended timings use journey planners linked from the National Rail, TPE or TRU websites.

There will be a different set of weekday closures during June (Dewsbury to Leeds closed, diversion via Wakefield Kirkgate).
