£161m investment at Leeds City Railway Station

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- A new £161m platform zero and supporting infrastructure is currently being constructed that will open up to passengers in early 2021 to provide much needed extra capacity to help meet the city’s rail travel demand. In addition, we have also recently modernised the station’s main concourse to improve the environment and passenger experience, including a new expansive glass façade entrance-way and transparent roof.

Platform 0? Time for Another Visiting the Platform Zeros Video from Geoff!
He has mentioned it when he did Part 1 and Part 2 of Visiting All Platforms Zeros.

The original budget for the last remodeling was £165m. This included all track from the viaduct in the East as far as Copley Hill and Armley in the West including the embankment and the E&F lines which sit on it, a dozen bridge decks, complete resignalling, transfer of Church Fenton and Stourton boxes to York IECC, and a complete station rebuild. The final total ended up at £225m which at the time was a shocking overspend. This current scheme just goes to show how ridiculously out of control costs have become since then even with inflation.
Keep it up Network rail !!!
What’s with the digital Doris voice over?
“And will help prepare the city for the arrival of HS2…” This hasn’t aged well 😆
Was due to arrive in 2033. Don't hold your breath!
It's never coming best we are getting is the northern power house upgrade that's it
I suppose the lower usage due to Coronavirus might mean this gets done quicker
George Brooke They’re not going to be scheduling extra works, the virus situation is enough of a headache as it is.
@@bfapple what do you mean? thousands of extra man-hours have already been worked due to extra works as a result of covid
Foxtrot707 When I wrote my comment two months ago, construction projects (for everything that wasn’t considered essential works) was virtually at a standstill. Obviously now (May 2020) it has been allowed for workers who can’t work from home (including non-essential construction) to return to their jobs.
@@bfapple No what I was saying was that Network Rail has been working this whole time as they are designated as essential workers.
Foxtrot707 I know that essential NR track works have been scheduled and completely around the country. But I’m talking about Leeds station specifically.
I’m not sure about how the works plan has changed in Leeds, but Stevenage Platform 5 (to give a similar example) has been delayed due to it being non-essential.
So the new platform 0 at Leeds will allow trains from Bradford Forster Square, Shipley, Skipton, Ilkley and Harrogate to terminate at platform 0 and to help end the bottleneck for trains coming in & out of Leeds railway station.
EssexLad 8919 yep
Thanks. :)

If only Leeds Central station had never been shut! How crazy!
Did you mean as if the station had never been shut as in not noticing any work being done because everything is going on as normal?
The cost of any rail project these days, is eye watering. Even minor schemes cost £ millions ! British Rail weren't perfect, but they did manage to open stations like Deighton, for £ thousands and it's almost the same station today as it was forty years ago, so that was good value for the money.
The East Coast electrification was done on the cheap, which wasn't ideal. However, BR did show that things could be done for sensible prices by doing things "in house" much of the time !
Have you ever heard of inflation?
I have been working on track between platforms 1 and 2 boxing in ballest on new tracks
Ironically platform 0 is next to platform 1 which not so long a go was platform W! (It was split in to two half Wa and Wb...but no Wc!...)As that was a additional platform added after station rebuild and new 1 2 and 3 platforms!....confused!...may be plat 0 will get absorbed in to numbering system in future if platform 18 19 and 20 get built over the other side by the canal....but may be not at tall no due to down turn coz of c19!
Just not a case of remembering platforms with new stickers....but all signaling needs changing with electric interlocking etc
It's Leeds, not "Leeds City". You can put as many "Leeds City" signs on it as you like, but until you actually change the official station name to "Leeds City", it's Leeds.
RWL2012 it was originally called Leeds city
Looking good, just a shame no one can use it
Shame bradford doesnt have a threw station it would worth while linking forster square to the interchange and reopen the bowling bypass loop be good for freight and passengers
The money should have been spent on widening platforms 1 and 2 which are so narrow you cannot get up them for disembarking passengers. Missed many a train because of this. This new platform is yet again too narrow to allow two streams of commuters to pass each other.
I no longer live in Leeds so I've just wasted 3 minutes of my life on a video.... Meanwhile, Crossrail in London is way behind and cost a 4 billion more than originally planned and Leeds gets a few million to "improve" the station. Doesn't seem fair does it?
Does anyone know why Crossrail is so far behind? Feel free to visit Leeds again!
Still have to wonder what this obsession with calling these new platforms 'platform 0' Why not just renumber in a logical system.
well you could either replace all the signage, update computer systems and signalling systems... or just add platform 0 and do it once, cheaper and less time consuming and less chance of confusion.
There looks to be space for at least another couple of platforms on the car park by the new "platform 0", if there is demand in future, perhaps they could be "platforms -1 and -2"!
@@joshuahawkes7218 then add everyone has to learn and remember that for example platform 15 you usually use to go to Hull is now platform 16 but is in the same spot.
The way this railway station station is built, I wouldn't renumber the platforms in any way shape or form
Is that in the thumpmail Regina sweedish train
A reminder to Network Rail’s narrator on this film, please get your nomenclature correct, they are called Railway Stations not train stations. One assumes when she flys away on holiday, she goes to a planeport and not an Airport!!
i don't think the narrator wrote the script.
Do you also want to call bus stations road stations? It is a train station, there is no fixed term, English is a living evolving language, if more people call it a train station then it is one.
I live in leeds
Me too
And me
Same
Me too
“Train station” grrrrrrrr :(
David Stevenson amazing I couldn’t believe it when I heard it.
Complete with lots of new ties and switches for the railroad tracks they’re installing. :)
What are those things that arrive at and depart from "railway" stations...? Oh yeah they're *trains* !!! My issue is "Leeds City" - it's Leeds.
RWL2012 it’s excellent logic. Assuming you call Heathrow an aeroplane station. Do you? Or do you accept that English isn’t consistent and realise that such logic does not apply?
Perhaps you should look at the polls on what people voted whether to say "Railway Station" or "Train Station"

A platform 0 means more seats? How does that work? The number of trains is stating the same. A new platform does not mean more seats on trains ffs!
We've got new trains. Class 331 and 195 have started work on these lines.
Is trainspand express first western rail ways or a different company
Awkward!
Nice but for gods sake stop using the phrase "train station".
What would you call it then
@@wikz8480 Railway station. That's what it has always been in the UK.
A train station with choo choos.
It is a train station, trains run on railways. People do not catch railways. Would you prefer if a bus station was called a road station?
Modern maybe but soulless with a total lack of greenery.
Who cares it’s for practicality, i and most others couldn’t care for plants when we’re in a rush and hoping the train arrives on time
What’s the point when everyone is trapped inside because we now live in a suppressed dictatorship military state? 😢
I'm sure the people that are oppressed in real dictatorship would feel sorry for you
Watch out for the lizard people, son.
What did your mum say; did you ask her if we live in such a dictatorship? Give us an update, love.
