Introduction

When Huddersfield station reopens on Monday 29 September, it will have three extended platforms instead of six. Passengers are advised to check the latest information before travelling and allow extra time when using the station.

Platform Operations

From September 29, only platforms 1, 2, and 3 will be in use. Trains will run to and from different platforms than before, and some services will be replaced by rail replacement buses. These changes will remain until early 2027 when the full station upgrade completes.

Service Disruptions

During phase two of the upgrades, which will continue behind a sectioned-off area, some services will be affected. Stations including Cottingley, Morley, Batley, Ravensthorpe, Brighouse, Halifax, Low Moor, and Bradford Interchange will not have direct trains to Huddersfield, and customers may need to change trains as part of their journey. Local stopping services from Leeds will now start/terminate at Bradford Interchange (Halifax on Sundays), with additional stops at Low Moor, Halifax, and Brighouse. These services will no longer call at Huddersfield and Deighton. Huddersfield to Bradford Interchange services will not run. Rail replacement buses will operate between Huddersfield and Brighouse via Deighton.

TransPennine Express (TPE) and Northern Services

TPE will run normal services with two exceptions. Northern services from Leeds will now start/terminate at Bradford Interchange (Halifax on Sundays), with additional stops at Low Moor, Halifax and Brighouse. These services will no longer call at Huddersfield and Deighton. Huddersfield to Bradford Interchange services will not run. Rail replacement buses will operate between Huddersfield and Brighouse via Deighton.

Deighton Station

Deighton station closed temporarily on August 30 for upgrade works and will reopen in 2027. An hourly rail replacement bus runs between Huddersfield and Deighton, and from September 29 will also stop at Brighouse.
