Toilets at Leeds train station to close for months as refurbishment work continues

Commuters travelling to and from Leeds are being warned that the toilet facilities on platforms at the train station will be closed for "a few months".

The station is in the process of undergoing a multi-million pound refurbishment, which has already seen the roof replaced and the main atrium given a complete overhaul.

A new platform is currently being added too as part of the major scheme to boost reliability and capacity.

The latest stage in the improvements to Leeds train station will see the toilets upgraded on all platforms.

However, it does mean that the existing facilities on platforms 8, 12 and 15 will be shut for several months.

No date has been set for the start of the works to upgrade the toilets, but temporary facilities will be installed on platform 1 for the duration of the refurbishment.

The toilets located in the main concourse of the train station will remain open throughout the course of the works.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: "Work will be taking place to refurbish the platform-side toilets at Leeds station so passengers can benefit from better facilities.

"In order to make these improvements, the platform-side toilets will be closing over the next few months. Alternative facilities will be available on platform 1 and by the main entrance."
