TRAIN passengers are being reminded to check before they travel ahead of upcoming weekday rail upgrades.

Changes to weekday train services between Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Leeds will be in place from June 24 to July 20, according to Network Rail.

The changes to weekday services come amid work as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade, a programme of rail upgrades between Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: "Weekend services remain unaffected but passengers are urged to plan ahead if travelling between Huddersfield and Leeds during the week.

"The upgrades include track renewals, environmental and ground surveys, drainage, signal verifications and construction work.

"Passengers will be kept on the move via diversionary routes and rail replacement bus services, and are encouraged to check nationalrail.co.uk to plan their journey."

Fuming locals hit with £10k bill after breaking bizarre fence rule
Residents living by a picturesque marina have been ordered to pay £10,000 for a new fence - to stop them helping boat users with their shopping. People living in Albion Mill in Worcester have been banned from passing bags over the existing railings. To avoid a 20-minute walk carrying heavy bags, boat owners leave their shopping at metal railings on the opposite side of the pontoon where their boats are moored. They then walk around the apartments to access Diglis Marina and have their bags passed over the railings by kind-hearted Albion Mill residents. Apartment managers now plan to erect a 2m (6.5ft) high 35m (114ft) long fence to block off the pontoon after two people complained about boat owners trespassing. They say the current practice means boat owners access a private car park and say some people have been climbing over the metal railings. But furious residents claim they are being punished for helping boat owners.

Hyundai Kona Electric review: the most sensible electric car, and the best
Sometimes, in this game, you have a pretty good idea that a car is going to be outstanding from the outset. Whether it’s because of the general excellence of its predecessor, a particularly eye-catching set of technical specifications, or perhaps just a sense that this is going to be a benchmark car, you’re primed and ready for brilliance – and disappointed if the car in question doesn’t live up to that expectation.

Xpeng's flying car takes test flight in China
STORY: This car can fly for 25 minutes with a maximum speed of around 80 miles per hour. That’s according to Chinese EV maker Xpeng’s affiliate, Xpeng AeroHT. ::Xpeng handoutThe company flew its latest experimental drone car during a short test on Tuesday (June 18).It aimed to demonstrate what the future of transportation could look like in China.As people looked on, the two-seater EV, called the Voyager X2, performed a vertical takeoff and landing in the Hebei province.AeroHT said test flights do not involve passengers sitting in the car. A flight engineer at the company said the public response has been “really positive”.“Our product can operate both autonomously and manually. It is very simple to operate. Even for a beginner, after about an hour of training, you should have a grasp of the basic controls aboard the aircraft. So our autopilot feature requires no manual operation, which eliminates the traditional learning curve associated with conventional aircraft, because a conventional aircraft typically require extensive hands-on training."The model is intended for short trips within a city area. And the company says it does not emit any carbon dioxide during flight.As for whether it’d be available to buy, AeroHT said the X2 is an “iterative product that is not intended for sale to the public.”
