There is video of it being demolished. There were engineering trains and on track machines on Huddersfield viaduct on Sunday when I drove past.

I had a couple of hours spare in Huddersfield today so went for a look around. A641 Bradford road - they are still cladding the new concrete bridge. The viaduct has overhead spans at both ends, but a few missing in the middle. Deighton has stairs and bridges. They are really hard to see from...

A couple of photos taken in Huddersfield on Sunday afternnon. Overhead line gantries installed on the viaduct. Just east of Fitzwilliam street. These ones are bolted onto both sides of the viaduct. Because there will be 5 tracks in this area because of the platform 6 track. I think a...

I think so. I don't know about the head of steam, but I heard compensation was offered to another business who might have to close. In the end, they found a way to work around. The ontrack with Tim videos mention that the station substation is being upgraded. And there are some new...

Maybe if you built HS4 from Ilkey to Manchester Airport. And a motorway too. Your American investors in Bradford engineering companies only want to know the airport code they fly to. If it’s not in the same city, they aren’t interested. There is a limit to how far you can stretch out ‘near...

For many years (at least 18) there has been a rumour around Huddersfield that the subway will be extended to the car park and warehouse out the back. 'The dirty carpark' locally. Maybe this person was just been hopeful. 33 years ago the theatre was going to be in the warehouse. 12 years...

Not if the Dewsbury work is all prep on the embankment and then the Thornhill works are plumbing it all in. Bringing the baker viaduct into use. All the plant will still be in the right place. It is a year away so plenty of time to be ready. (But this project is full of surprises)

There was a load of plant in the space where the new Mossley station when I drove past last week (Tuesday 4th I think). I didn't what they were doing. 1786480737 See this from further up the thread. So I'm presuming June 2027 ?? And all in one go? As the current middle line...

Agreed. The west side is just a couple of years ahead. There also just seem to be things happening - compounds in use when you drive past. (like in 2020, you'd see stuff for the Huddersfield to Westown scheme - a drilling rig here, somebody measuring a bridge, some trees chopped, an access...

I think the straightening south west of Dewsbury has always been in the plans. There is a left and then right bend as you approach Dewsbury from Ravensthorpe on the existing tracks. If they didn't fix the wiggle then you'd come off Baker Viaduct and have a right-left-right band. At...

Went past again and had time for pictures. There are 6 brackets on south side of Huddersfield viaduct. Note above the picture This one is bigger, and to the left (west) of the Fitzwilliam street arch. Same one again, but from underneath. 2 of this style. Further east they...

I think the drainage is down the middle. Some of the views might be distorted by zoom lenses. Given the lack of signal gantries everywhere, there will have to be some some signal posts in between the tracks too. Signals not shown on the consultation plans.

Yes. Stand outside Hoults Wine Merchants on viaduct street and look up. (pop inside too, lovely shop. And sorry I didn’t stop to take pictures) I think on the north side, from the plans, the masts are going to stand in the floor next to the viaduct. It’s waste land and car park rather than...

Actually we are in the second weekend of sleeper laying. Some were down last Sunday on 12th July. There are also at least 5 electrification mast brackets on the South side of Huddersfield viaduct. Just metal frames bolted to the stone work. (I drove past on Thursday)

I agree that happens. I've seen it this year.
