LIVE: Springwood Junction Track Removed | Gledholt Blockade Day 2

On Track With Tim continues live coverage of the TransPennine Route Upgrade on Sunday, 20 September 2026, with a close look at the major changes now visible around Springwood Junction, west of Huddersfield Railway Station. During the blockade, sections of the existing railway have been removed, including the Penistone line track and the Huddersfield Up line through this area. With the track lifted, the underlying formation has been exposed and prepared for reconstruction. Geotextile membrane has been installed across the trackbed, followed by fresh ballast as engineers begin rebuilding this section for the future railway layout. This live stream documents the work in real time and gives a close look at how the railway is being stripped back and rebuilt during the Gledholt Blockade. The exact activity visible may vary as work progresses, but this section is undergoing some of the most significant track changes around Huddersfield during the possession.
