Maybe temporary foundations for something?
Ta!
I understand they use polystyrene blocks to construct platforms now.

The Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) on LinkedIn said:♀️Over the last few months, our team of over 70 strong engineers have been completing extensive mining mitigation work in Huddersfield.
Last weekend was the final part of our phase one mining mitigation programme at the station.
We’ve been probing, treating, and infilling voids within old coal seams and assets, deep below ground, in preparation for the major route and station upgrades that will follow in the New Year.
Our programme of improvements for Huddersfield will see twice as many tracks installed and major station upgrades.
Extra tracks, better stations and a fully electrified route across the Pennines will ultimately deliver more frequent, faster journeys between York and Manchester, running on a greener, more reliable railway.
Good to hear that NR's engineers are strong, but it's a pity NR's press team can't write decent English.
I was wondering how many weak ones they had supporting them...
Roof work set to start at the station.

My thoughts too - a quick scan of Google Maps shows that Skelton Grange 275kV Substation is about 1.5km (as the crow flies) away from Neville Hill.Press release
Rail services to continue during Transpennine Route Upgrade work between Leeds and York
Major engineering works are set to commence over the next two weekends as improvements are brought to the power supply between Leeds and Neville Hill, as well as track upgrades at Church Fenton.
Is this another 25kV extension lead?
Do they not have any strong engineers to boast about this time
Interconnector from Armley TSL (track section location) to the new Neville Hill TSC (track sectioning cabin).
The grammar is even worse than the bizarre phrasing... "...which has already brought newly reinforced railway line through Castleford". It just doesn't make sense."...newly reinforced railway line..."
Who on earth writes these press releases?
I think the actual feed from the grid for the Leeds area is at East Ardsley on the Wakefield line. And a new feed at Hambleton and a proposed one (with SFC) at Ravensthorpe. I would not have thought there would be any other proposed grid feeds within 20 miles.
They have “Church Fenton engineers”, who sound very specialised indeed…Do they not have any strong engineers to boast about this time
UTX sprayed on the sleepers probably an under track crossing going in across under the yellow line to a chamber under the troughing.
Ta!
Viewing AIVR today, Neville Hill TSC appears to have been landed.Do they not have any strong engineers to boast about this time

It's only 12 years since Transpennine electrification was announced. It's a bit soon to expect timescales.
Stalybridge to both Manchester stations is pretty much complete.
In the NR press release last week it states;
Isn’t the Colton junction to Church Fenton section getting connected during this Christmas and New Year period?
It's believed to be but I haven't seen any confirmation, wasn't it originally Xmas 2022 & 23 for connections but nothing happened last year so wait and see.
Has the gap been done at guide bridge between the station and the freightliner depot?Stalybridge to both Manchester stations is pretty much complete.
When the first electric services start using any of the new infrastructure is another issue!
Still the same when I passed it yesterday
