Metro's
Leeds Station Interchange opens on Sunday 7 March, and should make
life simpler for many of the 600,000 rail passengers, each year, who
continue their journey in Leeds by bus or taxi.
Passengers
will be able to use Leeds Station Interchange to catch their bus
from five brand new bus stands, directly outside the front entrance
of Leeds Station. The Interchange also incorporates the main station
taxi rank protected by a domed canopy.

Station Interchange |
The
£2.2m Interchange will be used by up to 90 buses per hour,
travelling from east to west through the city to a wide range of
destinations including Bramley, Greengates Headingley, Holbeck,
Horsforth, Hunslet, Ireland Wood, Leeds Bradford Airport, Otley,
Pudsey, Tyersal, West Park and Wortley.
It
will also mean there are direct bus links from the city's bus station
to the rail station.
Leeds
City Council Leader, Councillor Keith Wakefield says: "Leeds
Station Interchange will make integrated travel much easier for
the tens of thousands of local people and visitors that use Leeds
City Station every day.
"Modern,
integrated transport links are vital to the ongoing prosperity and
growth of Leeds and through developments such as this, we are introducing
the right elements to achieve that essential connectivity."
