Hi there my real Name is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of us Class 507, Class 508, Class 313, and Class 314 and that also includes those interesting Class 315 Very Very Loud 7 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Transmission Train fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's Class 314 including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them. Including rebuilding most of the brand new refurbishment into the Volvo TD102KF Engine, Gardner 6LXCT Engine, Leyland TL11 Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Scania N112 Engine, Volvo D10M Engine, Leyland 510 Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner LG1200 Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 507’s Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's with a Very Very Loud 7 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearboxes and converting and that will also be including building most of them into a Two Carriages and Three Carriages per units of the Class 507’s Class 313’s, Class 508’s Class 314's and that is including those Class 315 Very Very Loud 7 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Transmission for all of us Class 314 and Class 315 Diesel Train fans out there PLEASE. Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project? Class 507, Class 313, and Class 314 will be rebuilding the brand new Class 315 Diesel Train fans out there Pretty Please?

I just watched all your playlist for TPR upgrade, your drone views and commentary are a great resource, recording a landscape during major changes, well worth making and viewing, thanks!

Will Huddersfield have six platforms instead of 8 since u told everyone in the clip it’s going to lose platforms 4 and five they will become large platforms , I’m sorry to say they are spoiling a Victorian station , I’m not happy one bit at all , dismantling part of a historic roof , it’s a tradition old fashioned roof . They knocked a roof like this in Blackburn in the 2000s . I like the old roof . It’s historic , built by the Victorians.

Used to pass under here everyday going to work....Some two years later (I'm now retired) and it's still a work in progress!

Havnt you got anything new yet seen all this so many times before its becoming boring.

Good coverage....what a fabulous station.

Thanks for this. It is a shame that old bridges are being replaced😢. But it is for a good reason.... 😊

70 to 100 mph is not fast

Great but ditch the music....very annoying.

i do not understand as huddersfield viaduct used to have 5 tracks why they have to widen it for 4 tracks .

I love how we are re quadrupling a route that was absolutely fine 100+ years ago 😒 should have never lifted the tracks in the first place

Thanks for the update, looking forward to the next one 😎

I wonder why this bridge and others on this line could not have been saved by using GLS 100R® Electrically Insulating Coating? This didn't seem to be listed as an option although it is cleared by Network Rail. Is it just that this development has taken place after all the deliberations over the TPR upgrade had taken place? Pity because it could have saved millions and saved some rather fine old bridges. John

Excellent and informative as always. Can't help thinking the option selection has been steered towards taking the opportunity to improve the highway layout at TRU's cost. I can't see that the road can remain open to road traffic while they rebuild the part of the structure being retained for the chose option, so unclear how road closure time could be used to rule out the option of raising the height of the existing bridge deck above rail level which could have retained more of the bridge structure. As others have commented, it's just a small illustration of the difficult financial and practical decision making process when making large alterations to existing railways - and no less disruptive to the neighbours.

It's nice to see the progress of the TPR upgrade. The fact that it is going ahead must be the 8th wonder of the world. I travel occasionally from Leeds to Huddersfield by rail for leisure purposes when I visit the Holme Valley area. Rail replacement buses are ok but better than nowt. Thanks for documenting all this. I watch with interest.

Yes...good coverage...thank you

Very interesting 👍🏻

Another first class report, thank you.

What's the point in something being listed, if it gets demolished anyway. Seems to be the plan on any historic building these day's, just getting stuff demolished. My brother's house is grade II listed and can't even chop tree down in back garden.

New entrance and car park are by no means decided as yet.

Impressive amount of works going on which ought to have a pretty significant impact on the transpennine route, I look forward to seeing it develop further in the future!

Good to see investment into an old station worthy of restoration and enhancement, rather than demolition.

I was here today doing a ground survey on another bridge further towards Huddersfield close to Deighton station I think the Bridge number was 02 at 28 mile post on the MVL3 in the Down Cess. we were digging to find the foundations of that Bridge because they need to lower the track there I was told

I’ve been wondering what might happen with this bridge for some time.

As someone who travels the route a new wider bridge is the better idea as by today’s standards the bridge is very narrow and is a major route to the motorway.

In its time it was good .. but now it is surrounded by sheds and traffic jams…build a wide new bridge… better for cars and trains ….

This highlights, for good or bad, the HS2 line. The national railway infrastructure is tied to the Victorian designs and builders of many of the bridges, tunnels and the routes taken by the lines, which in turn had an impact on the British loading gauge and there being no way to increase it to the benefit of the train companies and the passengers and freight trains on those lines. No such constraints in Germany or France after WWII given the widespread destruction of railway operations; they had a clean slate on which to rebuild and expand their respective networks, with the eventual TGV and ICE at the forefront.

I forgot to thank you for an excellent video. There are so many drone videos (HS2 ones on YT in particular) that give insufficient diagrams and map information, plans, etc. Your video does that perfectly, well done!

Listed building consent (and planning consent) will be required but you did not mention that. Has it been obtained? The point being that the solution will not be implemented unless local councillors approve and that there is no objection from English Heritage. That last is key.

While it's sad that this fine old bridge will be mostly demolished, I'm guessing it's not particularly unique. And the Victorians who built it, wouldn't have thought twice about replacing it in the name of progress.

I was thinking in my mind if u want to keep the bridge and the stone work take all the bridge down. Sell the bridge to a preservation society that will buy the the whole bridge and rebuild it again and put it on the east Lancashire line ,

It really frustrates me when something like this happens. Just goes to show how much of the norm this has become, by not giving any proper forethoughts, you end up having destroy a grand old structure.

I have been working on this project for two years and I have been here many times and learn something new.

Thanks for this great footage, shame it’s demise happened. It was a lovely station, fully staffed those were good times. I used to go up in the lift with my Mother siblings and one in a pram. The lift was never broken, they just didn’t want to pay someone to operate it or to maintain it. 😔

Hi, love tyour videos about the upgrade and living in Kirkheaton found this one especially interesting. You have also solved a 70 year old mystery for me. As a 7 year old in 1954 I lost a leg in an accident and had to go to Chappell Allerton hospital for my prosthetic limb to be fitted and updated. During the Suez crisis in 1956 we were asked to save petrol by making our own way there and my retired granddad took me on the first trip by bus which took several hours. The next time he used the train which continued until I was old enough to take myself and then use my car. The mystery was that the train was always a stopper and it called at a station with a platform to the right, a single line and wall to the left, coming the other way it was the same. I got my car in 1969 so haven’t used the train to Leeds more than half a dozen times since then but the strange station wasn’t on the route. Your old black and white photo of Mirfield station has now confirmed I wasn’t dreaming and it did exist. Thanks again.

PS We must remember that Mirfield station existed before Huddersfield had a railway connection. Passengers for Huddersfield alighted at Cooper Bridge for a coach to Huddersfield.

Thank you for making this video. Your drone footage makes so clear of the progress of this huge project. I have memories of Mirfield station from the 1950s with its gas lights and waiting rooms with coal fires. Its goods lift and bay platforms. Now its all change again for Mirfield!

Very informative video. I hadn’t realised the viaduct was so quite that long. I’m voting for keep the music in. A differentiator and a nice change from lots of the RUclips suggested “content” that appears in my feed.

3:44 I hope when this section over the road is widened, it is done properly and sympathetically to match the existing brick. Not just a horrible ugly grey concrete slab stuck on top. If a brick arch isn't possible, at least use steel beams. Was this bridge section never widened when the rest of the viaduct was widened in 1880 or was it partially demolished later?

The two parallel viaducts in Stockport only took about 18 months each to build, with primitive equipment, in 1839- 40 and 1888-89. It's taking contractors some 3 to 4 years (as planned) to replace a 70s-built 100-yard concrete bridge over a motorway in my area.

Sorry, but I didn't find this very informative, the musak was a pain and what about the legality of flying drones over or near railways?

Good stuff, will check back as this progresses

The Victorians built properly capable railways and British Railways spent time and money reducing what the Victorians built to the point where we now have to pay billions to get back to what teh Victorians built in the first place. I live in rural Suffolk and the ralway line here was dual track all the way through. BR single tracked almost half of it which basically makes the train service hourly which is hardly a service at all. You couldn't make it up.

Amazing amount of solar panels on houses and business units. Is there a local grant?

Very good aerial shots with slow panning.

Great vlog many thanks for making and sharing.

Great, views amazing with the drone.😎

Great to see the progress on the upgrade and thanx for your efforts in explaining. Only criticism is the music is too loud and partly overrides the commentary.

It probably won’t happen but, upgrading the line to Barnsley so direct trains to London via Sheffield from Huddersfield would certainly enhance the status of the station.
