Train
fires
++ A
shortage
of
Alstom-built
Class
175
diesel
units
is
continuing
on
Transport
for
Wales
routes,
as
the
result
of
a
series
of
fires
which
have
been
traced
to
contaminated
engine
bays
in
which
fuel
deposits
had
accumulated.
All
the
bays
are
being
deep-cleaned,
but
the
Office
of
Rail
and
Road
issued
an
Improvement
Notice
in
March.
The
work
must
be
completed
by
17
September.

Line
closed
++


There
will
be
no
trains
between
Leeds
and
Huddersfield
for
two
days
this
month,
as
the
second
phase
of
work
to
upgrade
Morley
station
begins
as
part
of
the
TransPennine
Route
Upgrade.
The
closure
between
Leeds
and
Huddersfield
will
be
on
17
and
18
June,
and
the
work
at
Morley
will
continue
until
25
June.
During
this
time,
engineers
will
demolish
and
rebuild
the
platforms,
change
the
track
layout
and
redirect
signalling
circuits
to
the
ROC
at
York.
