A TRU spokesperson said: “The Transpennine Route Upgrade will go well beyond Huddersfield station. Extra tracks, better stations and a fully electrified route across the Pennines will ultimately bring more frequent, faster journeys between York and Manchester, running on a greener, more reliable railway.”

Passengers travelling with TransPennine Express and Northern have been advised to check with their operator for updates regarding travel on the route between Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York during this time.
