Network Rail has released time-lapse footage of the recent project to improve the railway in Bradford, which took place over the Bank Holiday Weekend.
Over 100 workers carried out the upgrade around the clock to make sure trains were running as normal on Monday. In total, around 2000 hours went into the project over the weekend.
The work removes restrictions on which trains can use which platform at the station and means more flexibility for trains arriving at Bradford Interchange.

Rob McIntosh, Route Managing Director at Network Rail, said:
“We'd like to thank passengers for their patience whilst we carried out this major upgrade to the railway in Bradford.
“The footage highlights the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to improve the railway and we look forward to passengers reaping the benefit of this £2.5million investment, which will make sure that we can continue to provide a railway which meets the needs of the communities and economies we serve.”
