message: The paragraph on "extensions" appears to be based on a mis-reading of Lane's book. The only proposal to extend the Holmfirth Branch line was the original 1847 one to Holmbridge which L&YR allowed to lapse in 1852.
The scheme to tunnel under Holme Moss appears to be a reference to the Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield & South Staffordshire Direct Railway that was first announced in the autumn of 1845 before collapsing in early 1846. However, that scheme was not an extension of the Holmfirth Branch line but rather an entirely separate line that was described as joining the proposed Huddersfield-Penistone line "at or near a certain place called Smithy Place, in the Township of Honly [i.e. Honley], in the Parish of Almondbury".
Along with the Great Northern & Southern Direct Railway scheme (also of 1845 but rejected by Parliament), which intended to construct a new line connecting Huddersfield to Derby via Holmfirth, it seems likely that the decision to construct the Holmfirth Branch at the same time as the Huddersfield-Penistone line was a tactical one to block any rival companies from gaining a foothold in the Upper Holme Valley.
