Have your say on rail travel at Marsden and Slaithwaite Railway Stations
Earlier this year, residents shared their views on rail improvements between Huddersfield and Standedge.
Now, Network Rail are inviting residents to give feedback again as they unveil updated plans for the next phase of upgrades, including improvements to Slaithwaite and Marsden Railway Stations.
Get involved
Residents can get involved either online or via two in-person events.
These events will provide an opportunity for the local community to view the proposals in more detail, speak directly with the project team and ask any questions about the plans.
- Tuesday 10 November 2026, 3:30pm – 6:30pm at Slaithwaite Community Centre, Bank Gate, Slaithwaite, Huddersfield, HD7 5DL
- Wednesday 11 November 2026, 3:30pm – 6:30pm at Marsden Mechanics, Peel Street, Marsden, Huddersfield, HD7 6BW
In addition, the plans will also be available to view online, with an opportunity to share feedback via a dedicated virtual consultation room from Tuesday 3 November until Wednesday 2 December 2026.
All feedback will be carefully considered and where appropriate, used to help refine future plans.
Part of a wider plan
The proposals form part of the multi-billion-pound programme to modernise the railway between Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York, delivering faster, more frequent and greener trains on a better, cleaner and more reliable railway.
Network Rail are proposing a series of upgrades to support electrification and increased capacity on the route, as well as improvements at Marsden and Slaithwaite stations, giving customers a much improve travel experience.
