Between September 2017 – May 2018, Network Rail will be undertaking essential work in preparation for the upgrading of the TransPennine railway, which will deliver faster and more frequent services and improve connections between key towns and cities across the North. Vegetation will be removed to a distance of 6.5 metres either side of the tracks or up to our boundary.

Public events: starting from next week, to communicate with residents about the work and allow them to ask any questions they may have about what is planned

The events will all take place between 5:00pm and 7.00pm and will be held in the following locations:

Batley: Monday 14 August – Batley Library, Market Place, WF17 5DA
