Deighton Station, Huddersfield. Trans-Pennine Upgrade, 6/12/24.

Massive construction work on the railway at Deighton, Huddersfield.
Part of the Trans-pennine upgrade to bring the railway from the past to the present. The plans include huge earthmoving works, replacing old bridges, laying additional tracks, and electrifying the whole line from the east coast to the west coast.

Never thought of Deighton as an epicentre of trans Pennine commerce. Why would anyone be investing in this? One of the mysteries of the administration.

They're not investing in Deighton per se, there is already a station there and the plan is to increase to 4 tracks from 2, electrify the route and increase line speeds.
