DRONE Update: Huddersfield Station, Transpennine Route Upgrade

Join me as I continue a series of videos where I look at the Transpennine Route Upgrade around Huddersfield mainly by drone. In this video I'm looking the planned works at the Grade 1 listed Huddersfield Station. We get a unique view of the work from 50m up in the air
More videos coming soon for different points around Huddersfield linked to the Transpennine Route Upgrade

Enjoyed your presentation. I do hope the conceptions come to fruition as all too often plans change and your are left with a disaster. Like happened at Glasgow Queen Street and Sunderland.

Ongoing progress seems quite advanced, so let's hope so

Many thanks for great information but unsure about doleful music. One can not be too neutral, too quiet , or too unobtrusive, on educational video music,

[@i_and_g_adventures]

Thanks. I take the music from CZcams studio. It's in the same category as previous ones - "cinematic". I seem to struggle to select one due to top much choice

Thanks for the update, glad they are keeping the iconic buffet rooms they should look amazing refurbed.
Big plans for the rest too, longer trains that’s good. No more crushes at peak times ? But I bet they still over fill even with longer trains. Looking forward to next update. 👍🏻

[@i_and_g_adventures]

I think that's the plan. All the stations along the route inc Hudds are being upgraded upto 200m in length which would be a very long train. Whether train companies make use of longer platforms remains to be seen

1:24 I know that you said "no plans to change the _front_ of the station" and backed it up with the inset image of the grand entrance portico.
But for a moment I had cause to pause mainly because the station's Grade I listed, so of course there'll be no plans to alter as it is already prohibited.
This then led me to 'well perhaps he actually said "throat of the station" which in my mind fits in better with the listed restrictions.
'No "front" it was ' I said to myself.
[Thank you for getting this far as I have finally reached my point]
Point being, presumably listed status especially Grade I level, includes _everything_ including the trackwork, the lot.
How does this sit with weekend engineering work to improve the trackbed &c., &c.?

[@i_and_g_adventures]

I'm not aware of the actual details of what a listed status means can be changed. There's very comprehensive docs about heritage status of various structures along the route www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/railway-upgrade-plan/key-projects/transpennine-route-upgrade/huddersfield-to-westtown-dewsbury/

3:05 That footbridge, if that's the elevation, is an excrescence and looks suspiciously compliant with the finally being retired "heritage" good taste rules that anything changed, repaired or introduced today must be instantly recognisable as modern. On no account should it get anywhere near to fitting in with the original.
Monstrous carbuncle springs to mind whenever I come across this arrogance and I thank God that somehow some grown ups have inveigled their way into decision making positions in the relevant national bodies.
Yes that footbridge looks like the side air vent in a 1970s pebble dash concrete power station. Hope I'm wrong.

[@i_and_g_adventures]

The new bridge looks to me to of "modern" design
