More train disruption at weekend
The relief for rail travellers will be short-lived as Huddersfield station has a scheduled closure for the TransPennine Route Upgrade this weekend and next weekend although with pre-planned bus replacements in all directions, including bus connection to TransPennine Express services at Brighouse; a replacement bus for the service to Mirfield and Wakefield Kirkgate; a replacement bus to Stalybridge; and a bus to Lockwood for services on the Penistone Line to Sheffield. This is a weekend only closure over the two weekends.
The replacement buses to Wakefield via Mirfield appear not to be scheduled this time to make additional stops at Dewsbury on their road journey through the town, so there will be no direct service between Huddersfield and Dewsbury.
Also there is no replacement bus service from Huddersfield to Manchester Airport on this occasion, meaning journeys there may take around 2 hours, instead of just over an hour, through a series of changes between bus and train and with routes also varying between Saturday and Sunday.
Some TransPennine Express services will be diverted via Brighouse and the longer Calder Valley route during the closure. Other services across the region will be curtailed requiring a change adding to the extra journey time.
From Monday to Friday next week (February 2-6) there will be major disruption of services at Sheffield during work on tracks. All journeys normally departing or arriving via the north end of the station will have bus replacements for all or part of the journey. Services from Huddersfield should be operating to Meadowhall for bus replacement into Sheffield. Fuller details of train disruption across the Yorkshire region can be found at

Huddersfield Town away at Peterborough this Saturday
After two home victories under new head coach Liam Manning, Huddersfield Town have their first away test as they travel to Peterborough for Saturday's League One game (January 31, 3pm).Huddersfield Town consolidated their sixth position in the league when they beat Luton Town 1-0 at home at the Accu Stadium on Tuesday evening after a similar result against Bradford City on Saturday — both results achieved when the team were down to 10 men.
Town continue to need wins to make any progress in the play-off zone of the table. Last week's opponents Bradford City have now slipped from third to fifth place and are now just a point ahead of Town, although with two matches in hand. League leaders Cardiff City took themselves further ahead on Tuesday night with a 4-0 victory over Barnsley and are now 14 points ahead of Town. Cardiff also claimed the crown for League One's highest number of goals scored so far this season from the Terriers as they thrashed Barnsley.
This Saturday's opponents Peterborough are in 10th place in League One needing a win to put the play-off places in sight.
On Tuesday, Town were reduced in number after 29 minutes with a red card for Alfie May for a foul. The score remained
Last Saturday, Town hung on to a lead against Bradford from a 23rd minute goal by Marcus Harness to win. The Terriers were left with plenty to do in defence in the second-half, particularly after the 61st minute sending-off of Marcus McGuane for his second yellow card, but further scoring chances came to nothing.

Second building completed at new health campus
It has been named The Emily Siddon Building after Emily Frances Siddon, who lived from 1844 to 1923. She was a leading suffragist and played a leading role in the Poor Law Board of Guardians. She was born in Mansfield but moved to Honley, near Huddersfield, where she spent most of her life. She was president of the Soldiers & Sailors Families Association in Huddersfield in the First World War and president of the wartime Honley Auxiliary Hospital committee and received the MBE in 1918 for her war work.
The first construction on the site was officially opened in November 2024 and has been named the Daphne Steele Building. Daphne Steele was a nurse who came to the UK in 1951 from what was then British Guiana, now Guyana, to work in the recently-formed NHS. She became a matron at St Winifred's Hospital, Ilkley in 1964.
The new campus aims to lead healthcare innovation across the North of England and will feature a health and wellbeing academy, research and specialist clinical teaching facilities and public-facing features including a podiatry clinic, sports and physiotherapy clinic and health coaching by video link. Five more building projects for the site are being planned.
The site had been vacant since the demolition of Ibbotson and Lonsbrough Flats and the former Huddersfield Sports Centre while an earlier plan for a new Tesco store on the site was abandoned.
Food hall set to open in 2026 beneath former market's unique roof
Kirklees Council has planned the redevelopment of the area around the former Market Hall. It has seen the demolition of part of the Market building to allow a new public square to be created in front of the old library building and beside the Town Hall.
The listed part of the Market building with its unique airy roof design and sculptured panels along Queensgate are being retained as part of a new food hall, social dining area and part of a new library. Work inside the conversion of the old Market Hall was revealed at an Heritage Open Day on September 18.
