Thorpe Park rail station

Improving links to Thorpe Park, Leeds, with a new rail station.

Development

What is the Thorpe Park rail station project?

The Thorpe Park rail station project is an initiative to build a new rail station at Thorpe Park, Leeds. This new station will help to connect people to jobs and leisure facilities, with frequent trains running between the new station, Leeds City Centre, and primary road networks east of Leeds.

The rail station would be built on land next to Thorpe Park, providing easy access to the office park, leisure facilities, hotels, cafes, restaurants and homes in the area. The site is also near to the Southern end of the East Leeds Orbital Route (ELOR).

The new station will:

  • Offer frequent, reliable train services to and from Leeds
  • Make it easier to reach offices, hotels, leisure spaces, cafes, restaurants, and homes in Thorpe Park
  • Help reduce traffic on local roads and encourage more people to use the train

West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Network Rail are leading this project with Leeds City Council as a delivery partner.

Work on this project is expected to be completed in 2027.

How is this project funded?

This project is funded with:

  • £10 million from West Yorkshire plus Transport Fund
  • £7 million from the New Stations Fund
  • £3.8 million from the Leeds Public Transport Investment programme (LIPTIP)
