Trans Pennine route upgrade.

Approval has been given for a multi-billion-pound rail upgrade of railways in West Yorkshire.

Network Rail has been given the go-ahead to improve the line between Huddersfield and Westtown (Dewsbury) as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade.

The mammoth scheme will see the track layout rationalised, doubling the tracks, and major renovations to Huddersfield, Deighton, Mirfield stations, and a new station at Ravensthorpe. A flyover near Ravensthorpe will separate the lines running to/from Wakefield from those to/from Leeds to help reduce congestion.

These major improvements will ultimately deliver more frequent, faster trains along with a cleaner, greener, and more reliable railway between York and Manchester.

I see, from watching recent cab ride videos, that electrification from Manchester Victoria to Stalybridge is well under way.

Next stop Huddersfield ?

I also believe that things are starting to happen York side of Church Fenton.
