Consultation on station access plans November 8, 2021

Consultation has been taking place on a series of schemes to improve access for cyclists, pedestrians and bus users to Huddersfield railway station.

The railway station is the fourth-busiest in Yorkshire after Leeds, York and Sheffield and the scheme being proposed by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority aims to help people get there more easily while reducing car journeys to help tackle climate change.
