  • Dewsbury station: platform extensions (to 200 metres) to support longer, trains
  • Jack Lane bridge reconstruction (Batley)
  • Track renewals and overhead line equipment (OLE) installation

Up to four buses per hour will operate between Brighouse and Huddersfield (reduced overnight), with traffic management and security in place to minimise disruption.
