Busy Leeds train station car park will close for two years

Commuters who drive to Leeds train station will have to find somewhere else to park as the station's multi-storey car park is about to close for two years.

Network Rail says the long-stay car park will close on Wednesday, May 1, so workers can build the new platform 0. It is not due to reopen until the platform is fully built in 2021.

The Riverside car park has also been closed to the public.

The work is being carried out as part of a £161 million revamp of the station, which will see the arrival of a transparent roof, a pedestrianised entrance and new ticket machines.

In a statement, Network Rail said: "During the construction, the multi-storey car park will be closed and motorists will need to seek alternative parking arrangements, however, parking for Blue Badge holders will be retained.

"There are several car parks available within easy walking distance of Leeds station and extensive park and ride facilities serve the city."
