Leeds
Leeds Station is the second busiest station outside of London with 101,000 passengers a day. There are 5 train operators at Leeds, Northern Trains, Transpennine Express, East Coast, Arriva Cross Country and East Midland Trains. Leeds Station operates 24 hours day 7 days a week. In addition to working with the train operators we have excellent partnership workings with the British Transport Police and our station retailers which include some well known high street names.
Leeds Southern Entrance
Network Rail is working in partnership with the Metro (WYPTE) to deliver a scheme to build a new station entrance to the south side of Leeds Station.
The aim of the project is to provide connectivity from Leeds Station to the south side of the City (Holbeck) which has been experiencing commercial and residential growth in the recent years.
The proposal is to widen the existing station western footbridge and provide escalators, stairs and lifts to a partial deck over the River Aire. The deck will then provide access to either side of the river for passengers to access either the Little Neville Street or the Holbeck area of the City.
The new entrance is expected to be open in 2012.
Leeds Cycle Point
Northern Rail is seeking to construct a Cyclepoint on the forecourt of Leeds station, in the area adjacent to the bus interchange and taxi rank, and incorporating the Rotunda building. The facility modelled on the concept widely adopted at stations in the Netherlands will consist of a two-storey building providing secure, and supervised storage for around 300 cycles, and will also incorporate a counter area, small workshop and staff facilities.
In addition the facility would also offer a range of services including cycle rental, repairs and sales. The Cyclepoint will be staffed during the daytime, with a secure out-of-hours access system at other times.
It is the intention for the scheme to be completed in 2nd quarter 2010.
