Leeds Station

Please always leave plenty of time to catch your train safely. Running on platforms can be dangerous. Please stay safe on the railway.

Only a few old waiting rooms survive now, but this photo was taken where the short stay car park is looking towards the North Concourse. There are fewer top hats these days, too!

If you'd like to cycle into work you can store your bike here: we have cycle racks located on platform 1 and at the short stay car park. We also have a cycle point on New Station Street that will store them inside in the warm for a small fee.

Did you know we have no bins at Leeds Station? Please leave any litter you might have out of the way and our dedicated cleaning team will come and collect it.

We hope everyone had a good Valentine's day and remember, we all are special to someone x

While the world sleeps thousands are working hard to get things ready for the morning service

We’re proudly supporting Samaritans latest campaign, Brew Monday.
Today is supposedly Blue Monday - alleged to be one of the most depressing days of the year, but we’re helping the Samaritans turn Blue Monday into ‘Brew Monday.’
It’s encouraging everyone to have a cuppa and a chat with those who may be going through a tough time – it could be a neighbour, colleague, relative or friend. Showing you care and simply listening could save a life.
... As part of this campaign, local events are happening at some of our railway stations. At London’s King’s Cross and Glasgow Central we’re handing out free tea bags to passengers to take part in Brew Monday.

Back in October we launched an innovative smartphone app called ‘Signly Network Rail’ that will help enable the one in six deaf people who live in the UK to access a range of information to help them use level crossings safely -> https://www.networkrail.co.uk/everyone-ac ross-safely/
We worked with the The Royal Association for Deaf people (RAD), Action on Hearing Loss Scope, the Built Environment Accessibility Panel and The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (UK) to pr...oduce an accessible user guide.
This offers safety advice and information on audio, visual and tactile cues and also the warnings that are present at some of Britain’s level crossings to help users know when it is safe to cross the tracks.
The app is free and available in the Apple App store and Google Play.
