Engineers are making good progress to reopen a railway line in West Yorkshire following a landslip last month.

Specialist equipment is being used to remove more than 2,500 tonnes of soil next to the line in Baildon.

Work is progressing on time with rail services expected to resume from Mid March.

Until then, rail replacement buses are in use to keep passengers on the move, with the advice for passengers continuing to be check before travelling via National Rail Enquiries and Northern.

Richard Owens, Infrastructure Director for Network Rail’s North & East route, said: “Our teams are making progress in stabilising the land to allow for the railway line to reopen through Baildon from next month.

“We have had engineers on site 24 hours a day since the incident started and we continue to have teams working around the clock to make the area safe for trains to run once again.

“Network Rail is continuing to support local residents who have been affected by the landslip, and we want to thank all residents and passengers for their continued patience, understanding, and support while we carry out this vital work.”
