Batley Station Has Changed Forever! Batley Bump Removed. (Transpennine Route Upgrade)

Batley Station continues to be transformed as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU). In this update, we take a closer look at the latest progress around the station and explain one of the biggest engineering changes to take place here, the removal of the famous Batley Bump. The video explores how the former pedestrian subway created a dip in the railway, why speed restrictions were introduced, and how engineers permanently closed and infilled the subway to create a smoother railway capable of supporting higher train speeds. Also featured are: • The new accessible station entrance • The permanent closure of the original subway • Archive footage showing the Batley Bump before removal • Network Rail construction images of the subway infill • Drone footage revealing the completed works • The new Weaver Network branding appearing across the station • Current progress behind Platform 2 • Track realignment at Batley Every week, On Track With Tim follows the biggest railway engineering projects across the North of England, explaining not just what is happening, but why it matters.
