LPTIP Projects

  1. Leeds Bradford Airport Parkway Rail Station

    This project aims to improve access to the airport and the surrounding existing and proposed office and industrial developments by public transport, and provide a park and ride service for residents of north west Leeds and the wider catchment area.

  2. LPTIP Real Time Programme

    The Real Time programme, funded by LPTIP, involves the procurement and installation of 1,000 screens to present Real Time bus information at stops and shelters in the Leeds District. This is part of the wider programme for improvements to public transport in Leeds.

  4. White Rose Rail Station

    This project aims to build a new rail station at White Rose Office Park to enable improved transport infrastructure and accessibility to employment and residential areas.

  5. Rail Accessibility Programme

    A scheme that aims to deliver step free access from the station point of entry through to the station platform edge at Cross Gates and Horsforth rail stations.

  6. New Pudsey Rail Station Car Park Expansion

    This scheme has been proposed by both the Combined Authority and Leeds City Council to support sustainable employment growth into a main urban centre. It will particularly benefit commuters, as well as supporting more travel into and between the urban centres by rail for other purposes.

  7. Elland Road Park and Ride Expansion

    The Elland Road Park and Ride facility first opened in July 2014 with the provision of 425 parking spaces and a number of bus priority measures into Leeds city centre. Due to popular demand the site was then extended to provide a total of 800 spaces by December 2016.

  8. Leeds Station Gateway Yorkshire Hub

    Leeds Railway Station is the busiest station in the North and the second busiest outside of London. About 31 million passengers use the station a year which is comparable to London Kings Cross.
