And the stopper is showing on journey planners.

Does anyone know if the xx:58 Piccadilly to Huddersfield and xx:53 Huddersfield to Piccadilly will operate as normal on Saturday 13 or whether it'll disappear from journey planners when a new upload occurs?

I understand this is to be a rail replacement bus.

Could it be that the Leeds end of Huddersfield is closed? And that services can still run into Huddersfield from the Lockwood/Slathwaite end as the Sheffield services also appear to be running.

Providing accurate and timely information for passengers is not one of TPEs strong points.

The TPE website (currently) shows an hourly stopping train between Piccadilly and Huddersfield both on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th, which would represent the best Sunday service we have had since the start of February.

I was thinking of going hiking in the Dovestones Reservoir area on Saturday but given the updated weather forecast is now for highs of around 30oC rather than mid 20s, I might postpone that anyway.

I notice the Northern website links to this microsite: https://thetrupgrade.co.uk/upcomingclosures/

Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 August 2022​

Services via Huddersfield​

We will be replacing a bridge between Huddersfield and Deighton. This will allow the line to be electrified, enabling cleaner, quieter electric trains to run in the future, and support the future doubling of tracks between Huddersfield and Dewsbury from two to four.

We will also be carrying out other improvement work in and around Huddersfield Station.

Trains that normally run through Huddersfield station will either be diverted or altered, with rail replacement bus services in place to ensure you can get to and from where you want to go

No mention of Piccadilly to Huddersfield stoppers not operating but then why would anyone catch a xx:01 train from Victoria to Deighton, followed by a RRB if there's a direct xx:58 train from Piccadilly?
