THE remains of the former Hillhouse shed in Huddersfield have been rediscovered as the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) project progresses. In preparation for capacity enhancement, which will see the route past the site four tracked in the coming years, a team of staff working on behalf of Network Rail has been carefully uncovering the historic site, near Alder Street, over the last three months.
A Network Rail spokesman told The RM that the area will be used as a compound for civil engineers to base themselves as improvements are carried out between Huddersfield and Dewsbury as part of the TRU scheme.
