HUDDERSFIELD railway station is one of 70 to be redecorated.

Arriva Trains Northern is spending £630,000 painting stations both inside and out.

The work should be done by the end of this year.

And a further £330,000 will be spent revamping the ticket office at Leeds Station. This will include new windows, counters and a modern curved frontage.

Peter Myers, Arriva Trains Northern's head of stations, said: "Stations are at the heart of many communities and the first thing people see when visiting a place by train.

"We want to ensure the stations we manage are well-maintained and provide a positive impression.

"These investments are part of a major push by Arriva Trains Northern to bring real improvements to the rail network."

He added: "We are already making good progress in our performance and the latest figures show we are the highest performing train operator in terms of punctuality and reliability in the north of England.

"By improving our stations, as well as performance, we can work towards improving the whole travel experience for our customers and help move rail services forward."
