Leeds station will enter the next stage of its transformation in March as the council bids to create a more people-friendly environment.
The Leeds Station Sustainable Travel Gateway scheme is set to overhaul the current station setup to allow for growing numbers of commuters and make sure they are kept safe and secure. A total of £46.1 million is being invested, which is being delivered by Leeds City Council on behalf of Network Rail in partnership with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Works and preparations have been underway since May 2022, and more major improvement is set to begin in early March. The works will include the pedestrianisation of New Station Street and the relocation of the taxi rank.
