![Fowler 2-6-4T no 42408 at 55G Huddersfield (Hillhouse) around 1963. The locomotive was withdrawn from here the following April and disposal was via Wards, Killamarsh, three months later.<br><br>[K A Gray //1963]](/images/22000/22964.jpg "Huddersfield (Hillhouse)")

![The Association of Community Rail Partnerships has just taken up residence in the ex-LNWR water tower at the north end of Huddersfield station. Back in 1983 it was still in railway use (although not for supplying boiler water of course) and surrounded by the sort of clutter which gave the network so much of its atmosphere.<br>

!['Peak' locomotives 45121 and 45148 meet at Dewsbury (formerly Wellington Road) station on 27 May 1986 hauling trans - Pennine services.<br><br>[David Pesterfield 27/05/1986]](/images/31000/31409.jpg "Dewsbury")
![In addition to the platform tracks, one of the two through roads at Dewsbury was reinstated to cope with increased traffic. It allows fast trains heading for Leeds to overtake slower services and is well used. Transpennine Express unit 185134 leaves for Leeds and Middlesbrough in a view taken from just outside Dewsbury's increasingly popular station buffet bar, the start of a <I>Rail Ale Trail</I> through Huddersfield to Stalybridge. [See image 31409] for the same view in 1986.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 04/04/2009]](/images/23000/23146.jpg "Dewsbury")
![The trainshed at Huddersfield sees 142042 and 158902 on a centre road between turns whilst through trains go on the opposite side of the island platform. This picture looks north from outside the <I>Head of Steam</I> buffet bar, which, in addition to being on the Rail Ale trail, has a remarkable collection of nameplates, number plates, station signs and pictures. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 04/04/2009]](/images/23000/23202.jpg "Huddersfield")
![<I>Here we go again</I>. The guard takes his bags to the other end of 155342 in the bay platform at Huddersfield. The unit is on a Leeds to Wakefield Westgate service via Bradford (reverse), Huddersfield (reverse) and Wakefield Kirkgate (reverse). At Westgate the train reversed again to return to Leeds by the same circuitous route. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 04/09/2009]](/images/25000/25308.jpg "Huddersfield")
![The square in front of Huddersfield's imposing station has been undergoing refurbishment during the summer. These works are almost complete although <I>Harold</I> is still fenced off. Former Prime Minister Harold Wilson was born in the town and his statue is a well known local feature. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 04/09/2009]](/images/25000/25311.jpg "Huddersfield")
![The Huddersfield to Sheffield line is in the news at the moment as Northern Rail plan to convert it to experimental <I>Tram Train</I> operation, although local rail users question the viability of the proposals. 142067 waits in the bay platform at Huddersfield on a siding that allows Sheffield trains to leave and arrive without conflicting with those on the main line to Manchester. <br><br>[Mark Bartlett 04/09/2009]](/images/25000/25364.jpg "Huddersfield")
![Having called at Dewsbury on its way to Leeds, Northern Pacer 144004 rejoins the main line from the platform loop that allows overtaking for trains travelling north. View towards Batley from the southbound platform.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 24/04/2010]](/images/28000/28711.jpg "Dewsbury")
