More train disruption this weekend
This time there are 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

League One - Full-time:
Peterborough United 2 - Huddersfield Town 3
Huddersfield Town need wins at the moment just to stand still in their play-off sixth place with hope that teams above them will eventually make a slip.They didn't disappoint as the Terriers pulled off their first away win under new head coach Liam Manning at Peterborough this Saturday, a 2-3 victory with a goal from Lasse Sorensen after 27 minutes while Radinio Balker started the second half with Town’s second.
The home team got one back after 64 minutes and then an equaliser after 85 minutes. Cameron Humphreys, on as a substitute, saved the Terriers day by getting the winner in the penultimate minute of normal playing time.
Town came away with the three points they need. They have now opened a six point gap over the nearest play-off hopefuls but remain 10 points below the automatic promotion places among strong competition, including Bradford City who are still one point ahead of Town.

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.
