The Calder Valley Line
This part of the line is on the Halifax to Huddersfield section of the Calder Valley Line.

"The Calder Valley line (also previously known as the Caldervale line) is a railway route in Northern England between the cities of Leeds and Manchester as well as the seaside resort of Blackpool. It is the slower of the two main rail routes between Leeds and Manchester (the other being the Huddersfield line), and the northernmost of the three main trans-Pennine routes.

Halifax–Huddersfield
This route was re-opened to passengers in 2000 when Brighouse station was re-opened, and two short lengths of line relaid (after being out of use for 15 years) to enable trains to reach Huddersfield." Extracted from link
