DMU's rule at Huddersfield station, which still retained a skeletel overall roof but was looking well past its prime on a chilly 30th January 1984. A BRCW and Met-Cam lash-up wait to depart for Leeds. Pouring rain was doing its bit in removing the recent fall of snow...
Class 08 No. 08372 of Heally Mills, shunts a pair of GUV's in the remains of the yard at Huddersfield on 30th January 1984...
Meanwhile, 45112 The Royal Ordnance Army Corps enters the station from the east with a Liverpool bound train, again on the 30th January 1984...
The west end of the station was a gloomy and depressing 'satanic mills' kind of place. Two LMS design 50' parcels vans await their final journey to the breakers yard on 30th January 1984. I chose a very wet dismal day to visit Huddersfield.
I hadn't visited Huddersfield since 1950. I lived in Oldham at that time, and as important a town as it was from a manufacturing and population viewpoint, it wasn't on a mainline railway like neibouring Ashton and Stalybridge. So travel between Huddersfield and Oldham was much more convenient by Hanson bus from Clegg Street, as pictured here...
