    Passengers can look forward to faster and more frequent trains from York to Manchester after a multi-billion-pound rail upgrade in West Yorkshire has been approved. Network Rail says it can now completely transform train travel between Huddersfield and Dewsbury as part of a Transpennine Route Upgrade, installing twice as many tracks and seeing several stations renovated.

    A spokesperson said, “As well as supporting rapid economic growth in the North of England, these major improvements will ultimately deliver more frequent, faster trains along a cleaner, greener, more reliable railway between York and Manchester.”
