I just watched all your playlist for TPR upgrade, your drone views and commentary are a great resource, recording a landscape during major changes, well worth making and viewing, thanks!

It's nice to see the progress of the TPR upgrade. The fact that it is going ahead must be the 8th wonder of the world. I travel occasionally from Leeds to Huddersfield by rail for leisure purposes when I visit the Holme Valley area. Rail replacement buses are ok but better than nowt. Thanks for documenting all this. I watch with interest.

I wonder why this bridge and others on this line could not have been saved by using GLS 100R® Electrically Insulating Coating? This didn't seem to be listed as an option although it is cleared by Network Rail. Is it just that this development has taken place after all the deliberations over the TPR upgrade had taken place? Pity because it could have saved millions and saved some rather fine old bridges. John

There was no reference to that in the documents I read so presume it wasn't considered. I'm not close enough to the project or have enough engineering background to answer your question

Is the coating viable to use on masonry bridges. Afaik it’s only suitable for already painted/ metallic bridges?

Overhead electrification needs height which the shallow arches does not provide.

Looking at the profile of where the new track positions will be, and where the pantographs would need to pass through, it's physically impossible to fit under the existing bridge

i do not understand as huddersfield viaduct used to have 5 tracks why they have to widen it for 4 tracks .

@andrewreynolds4949 6 ай бұрын

For the most part it's not actually being widened; some of the old steel spans are being replaced, but most of the viaduct and the abutments are receiving only strengthening works. The only part being widened is a small length by the station, where a cantilever section over the road will be added to extend one of the platforms.
