A railway station car park has reopened to the public following weeks of closure.

Brighouse Station car park was closed to the public for most of May, but is now open again.

The closure was because of work taking place between Huddersfield and Leeds as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade, with the station car park serving as a transport hub for rail replacement buses for many customers travelling to and from Huddersfield.

Throughout the closure, rail replacement buses ran up to every 15 minutes between Huddersfield and Brighouse, and car park customers used alternative parking in marked on-street parking bays or at nearby facilities.

Paul Marshall, Friends of Brighouse Station Chair, said it was a "great relief" to have the station car park reopen to the public after weeks of closure.

Paul Marshall, chair of the Friends of Brighouse Station group, said: “It is a great relief to get the station back to normal again although the operation went smoothly.

“The train traveling public can now use the car park as normal without the problem of trying to find parking elsewhere in the area.”
