Below is the information presented during the public consultation:


We would like your views on our proposed improvements to Leeds Station’s entrance and the surrounding area.

The Scheme

Leeds City Council and West Yorkshire Combined Authority have submitted a bid to the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund for £39.5 million to support the ‘Sustainable Travel Gateway’ project.

If the bid is successful the Council and the Combined Authority will work with Network Rail to deliver the proposed works, which would significantly improve accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists.

Improvements would include:

  • Pedestrianisation of New Station Street and relocation of the existing taxi rank to Bishopgate Street.
  • Improving accessibility through the installation of two passenger lifts from Bishopgate Street to the station entrance on New Station Street
  • Environmental improvements to Neville Street and Dark Neville Street including enhanced lighting, road surface and pavement treatments and urban art installations
  • Installing high quality cycle infrastructure on Neville Street, and improvements to cycling infrastructure in surrounding communities
  • A high quality 700-space cycle hub with electric charging points at the station
  • New commercial space to be built within the cycle hub land

Removing heavy traffic from outside the station will allow pedestrians and cyclists to travel directly into the city centre with ease. The installation of two passenger lifts will provide further options for step-free access from Bishopgate to the station entrance, instead of having to use the rear and side entrance which are the only current level-access options. This will significantly improve access for people using wheelchairs or pushchairs, and for people with mobility issues.

If planning permission is granted and funding is secured, the works are likely to start later this year.


Have your say

To help you understand the proposals, a number of concept drawings and a map of the works can be found using the ‘documents’ and 'Images' sections of this page, or at one of our public drop-in events. Members of staff will be available at these events to answer any questions you may have.

You can find out more and give us your comments in a number of ways:

  • Online using the link below
  • Via email: keytothenorth@leeds.gov.uk
  • By post: Freepost CONSULTATION TEAM (WYCA)
  • Ask us a question using the Q&A tool below
  • In person at one of our drop in events within Leeds Station on Monday 10, Wednesday 12 and Friday 14 February from 7am to 12pm.

Please contact us if you would like any information in large print or braille format.

This engagement is now closed.

You can also use the 'stay informed' tool to sign up to our mailing list for updates on the development of this project.

Additionally, you can register to be added to the Your Voice community where you will receive information on opportunities to have your say on a variety of projects.


Next steps

Feedback will be analysed following this consultation and used to amend the plans where possible.

    Barry Morgan asked about 3 years ago

    The British Transport Police (BTP) offices will remain in their current location both during construction and post project completion.

    There are currently two official parking bays on New Station Street for British Transport Police vehicles and these will be replicated in the new scheme.

    BTP officers will also get fobs to be able to access the hostile vehicle mitigation bollards on the New Station Street / Boar Lane junction.

    We are liaising with the Inspector at the station on all things relating to the project.

We have contacted First buses, who have explained that they intend to restore routes including the No 1 to Beeston on completion of the works to The Headrow, while taking into account the phased service return post-COVID 19. As a city we are looking at a mass transit solution, which is at an early stage.

    The design includes for new lighting and the removal of vehicular traffic on New Station Street. These changes contribute to creating a safer environment for all people, particularly people whose cognitive abilities mean they do not perceive risk easily. The paving surfaces will be selected to avoid any excessive contrasting patterns which could be a source of confusion for people with dementia. Similarly, New Station Street retains the familiar kerbed pathways which allow people to avoid the lower surface which will be shared with cyclists.

    The proposed cycle hub developed as part of the scheme uses an area under the station which is currently unused. As part of the future development of the station Network Rail are actively looking at how other areas below the station can be brought into use in the future to support the vision to develop the station within the operational constraints that the space poses.

    starman asked almost 5 years ago

    The works at Bishopgate Street are part of a series of interventions throughout the city aimed at reducing the need for traffic to pass through the city centre on route to other destinations and upgrading pedestrian and cycling access, providing people with more choice in how to access the city centre. These interventions will improve connectivity between local motorway networks and Leeds Inner and Outer Ring Roads, providing alternative routing for vehicles not needing to access Leeds city centre. In addition, upgraded highway infrastructure, park and ride facilities and investment in public transport to improve service efficiency and reliability are all aimed at making public transport and alternative travel (cycling, walking etc.) more desirable options for people accessing the city for work and leisure and reducing the reliance on private vehicles.

    Thanks for your feedback, and although we agree that relocating the bus station to immediately outside the station would be the ideal, unfortunately this is not possible due to a lack of sufficient land in the vicinity of the rail station.

    The works at Bishopgate Street are part of a series of interventions throughout the city aimed at reducing the need for traffic to pass through the city centre on route to other destinations and upgrading pedestrian and cycling access, providing people with more choice in how to access the city centre. These interventions will improve connectivity between local motorway networks and Leeds Inner and Outer Ring Roads, providing alternative routing for vehicles not needing to access Leeds city centre. In addition, upgraded highway infrastructure, park and ride facilities and investment in public transport to improve service efficiency and reliability are all aimed at making public transport and alternative travel (cycling, walking etc.) more desirable options for people accessing the city for work and leisure and reducing the reliance on private vehicles.
