Improvement Work To Start At Huddersfield Station

Construction News Image
Network Rail is to upgrade and improve a lift at Huddersfield station.

The work will start on Monday, 14 March, to make it more reliable for passengers.

Engineers will be replacing parts of the lift so that it can continue to run smoothly and help passengers move around the station, which is managed by TransPennine Express.

The essential work means the passenger lift on Platform 1 will be out of action from Monday 14 March until Monday 4 April and there will be no step-free access to Platforms 4-8.

Passengers who are arriving at or departing from these platforms and need to use the lift should pre-book assistance through National Rail or their train operator so that alternative transport, such as a taxi, can be arranged.

Richard Owens, Infrastructure Director for Network Rail's North & East route, said: "It's important that we keep our lifts in good working order, so that they can continue to provide a reliable, accessible route for those who rely on step-free access when travelling by train.

"Having a lift out of action is never ideal and I’m sorry to everybody impacted by this work. I’d advise passengers to plan ahead and to pre-book assistance where needed so that they can reach their destinations safely and on time."
