Ten minutes might not sound like much, but a small pause in your day can make a difference.
Take 10 minutes to do something for your wellbeing. Read a few pages. Step outside. Grab a cuppa. Message someone you’ve been meaning to check in on. Or simply take a moment to pause.
And while you’re at it, why not take 10 seconds to ask someone else:
“How are you, really?”
Small actions. Meaningful conversations. Looking out for ourselves and each other.
#WorldMentalHealthDay #Take10For10
Happy Friday everyone! 🥳

⚠️ RMT strike action planned for Sunday 4 October has been suspended. As a result, trains are expected to operate as normal on this date.
Strike action remains scheduled to take place on Sundays 11, 18 and 25 October, and customers should continue to check before travelling for the latest information. We'll update with more information when we have it.
We’re upgrading the Transpennine Route to deliver a faster, more reliable, and more sustainable railway across the North. This multi‑billion‑pound investment is modernising the railway so trains can run more smoothly and with lower carbon emissions. While some disruption is needed now, these improvements will mean better journeys for decades to come.
Trains will still be running, but journeys may take longer, be diverted, or require a replacement bus.
What’s happening
The railway will be closed between Stalybridge and Mirfield on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October while we carry out this work.
Replacement bus services:
Stalybridge to Huddersfield (direct)
Stalybridge to Huddersfield calling at Mossley, Greenfield, Marsden and Slaithwaite
Huddersfield to Brighouse (direct)
Replacement buses on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October only
Huddersfield to Barnsley direct and calling at Lockwood, Berry Brow, Honley, Brockholes, Stocksmoor, Shepley, Denby Dale, Penistone, Silkstone Common, and Dodworth.

56 votes • Final resultsChanges to rail services between Manchester Piccadilly and Huddersfield until Friday 2 October
Until Friday 2 October trains between Manchester Piccadilly and Huddersfield will start and terminate at Marsden. Rail replacement buses will transport customers between Marsden and Huddersfield, where customers may connect to rail services to continue their journey. Marsden station does not have step-free access to all platforms and there is a steep hill to access the station. It may be difficult for some customers to change there. If you require step-free access, are travelling with prams, pushchairs or heavy luggage, or would prefer to use an alternative station, please change at Stalybridge instead, where rail staff can direct you to accessible rail replacement buses to help you continue your journey.
We're here for after-work catch-ups. 🍻 Commute your way with us.
Head to our website to book your tickets.
💔It is with heavy hearts that TransPennine Express (TPE) announces the passing of Bolt, Huddersfield’s much-loved former station cat, following a road traffic accident.
🐈Bolt joined the team at Huddersfield station in 2018 as an apprentice to Felix, the station’s famous Senior Pest Controller, and quickly became a firm favourite with colleagues, customers and visitors from around the world.
🚆 We’re proud to introduce our new ‘Voices of TPE’ – colleagues Daniel, Grant and Sophie, who are now the voices behind onboard announcements for customers across the North of England and Scotland.
🎙️ Chosen following an internal competition, the trio recorded hundreds of announcements during 2025, from station names across our network to important safety and security messages.
🗺️ With voices from York, Glasgow and Cleethorpes, the new announcements reflect the regions and communities we’re proud to serve, while giving customers clear, consistent and reliable information throughout their journeys.
Happy Friday everyone! 🥳
