Mass Transit phase one - Leeds Line route options

The Leeds Line is divided into two sections:

• Leeds city centre has four options (labelled on the map as L1, L2, L3 and L4) and all these start from St James’s University Hospital.
• South Leeds has three options (labelled L5, L6 and L7).

The Leeds Line will connect people between St James’s University Hospital and the White Rose via Leeds city centre, forming a single continuous route. One route option from the Leeds city centre section and one from the South Leeds section will be combined to form the preferred overall route for the Leeds Line.
