Overview
Former Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman described Huddersfield railway station as “the most splendid in England”. Since its opening in 1847, Huddersfield railway station has been at the heart of the town’s community.
In 2022, Huddersfield station celebrated not only its 175th birthday but a new future, as the Transpennine route upgrade began to significantly improve its facilities, giving the people it serves a station truly fit for the 21st century.
Plans included:
- Two new platforms and the extension of existing platforms to improve station capacity,
- Improved accessibility – including new footbridge and lifts, and step-free access from the front entrance,
- Sympathetic restoration of the station roof,
- Additional toilet facilities,
- Improved customer information system,
- Track upgrades to support more trains,
- The repaired and repainted tearoom will be relocated on its current platform.
Join us at this engaging event to discover more about how these plans have been brought to life so far.
