The footbridge over the ex-LNWR "Leeds New Line" dates from the line’s opening in 1900 but today it is almost disappearing into the jungle. The ex-LYR Calder Valley line lies beyond just west of Heaton Lodge Junction where the two run parallel. HFF to Everyone. Enjoy your weekend.

To the south of Lockwood station, the ex-LYR line to Sheffield passes over the valley of the River Holme by an impressive 476 yards (435 m) long stone viaduct to Berry Brow. An unidentified Northern Class 144 Pacer diesel multiple unit crosses with 2B13 the 11.12 Huddersfield to Sheffield train. Best seen large! Press Z.

A West Yorkshire scene taken from New Hey Road at Ainley Top. Huddersfield town centre lies deep in the fog-bound valley to the left. Castle Hill 7 km to the south east stands proud on the skyline.

A side view of Huddersfield's 1847 station building and 1880s train shed (on the left) taken from the top of St George's Street just off Westgate. With no modern traffic to date it this street view could be from the 1950s-60s.

It's grim up North - not... A beautiful morning in the classic Pennine landscape of the Colne valley west of Huddersfield. Looking north from Manchester Road. On the Millstone Grit viaduct an unidentified TransPennine Class 185 diesel multiple unit on 2M62 the 07.53 Huddersfield to Manchester Piccadilly service passes Spa mill built in 1907 & one of the few still operational in the area.

Heading east GB RailFreight Class 60 diesel 60056 with 6E36 the 01.45 Liverpool Tuebrook Sidings to Drax biomass train has just passed Heaton Lodge Junction north of Huddersfield on the ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Calder Valley line at 06.54. The shot was taken from the footbridge over the ex-LNWR New Line which now joins the Calder Valley line at Heaton Lodge East Junction off left. The footpath continues under the LYR line in a very low tunnel and up the hill past the stone building. HFF & have a great weekend.

The warm evening light makes the warm Yorkshire grit of the Gatehouse on Low Hills Lane, Lindley even warmer! Designed by Edgar Wood and built in 1900 as coachman’s accommodation this unusual building marked the entrance to the Fieldhead estate which is now completely built over. HFF & have a great weekend!

Love in the Time of Covid - well a year earlier actually. Fond farewells as Northern Class 144 dmu Pacer 144019 stands in platform 2 with the 10.12 to Sheffield. HFF & have a great weekend.

Sunrise over Castle Hill & Emley Moor as seen from Waller Clough Road, Scapegoat Hill.

Over in bay platform 2 the Sheffield train is formed of a 3-car Class 144 Pacer dmu. I arrived on this service but returned to Leicester via Wakefield. Huddersfield station's Victorian trainshed forms a splendid frame. HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

An unidentified Northern Class 150 Sprinter diesel multiple unit takes Longroyd viaduct high above the Colne Valley with train 2B07 the 08.12 Huddersfield to Sheffield via Penistone service. The water in the Huddersfield Narrow Canal had been calm but a gaggle of ducks decided to swim off before the train arrived! HFF & have a great weekend.

Northern Class 144 diesel multiple unit 144019 is seen crossing Longroyd Viaduct with train 2B05 the 07.12 Huddersfield to Sheffield service. It will soon enter Lockwood tunnel at the other end of which is the first station stop at Lockwood. Arrival at Sheffield will be at 08.28. HFF everyone and stay safe.

An unidentified TransPennine Hitachi Class 802 Nova 1 bi-modal diesel/electric multiple unit with 9S06, the 06.24 Liverpool Lime Street to Newcastle service, takes the curve at Paddock. The train will shortly pass through Springwood tunnels before arriving at Huddersfield station.

Sunrise over the ex-LNWR Standedge Route and the former Paddock All Saints Church as an unidentified Trans-Pennine Class 185 dmu enters Paddock cutting on 1K06 the 06.04 Hull to Manchester Piccadilly running 7 minutes down.

Heading for a pint in the Head of Steam pub, off to the left, I felt obliged to get a night-time shot of Huddersfield's splendid 1850 London & North Western Railway frontage. Described as the only VIctorian stately home with trains running through it...
