LPTIP Projects

  1. 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.

  2. New Pudsey Rail Station Car Park Extension

    As part of the Leeds Public Transport Investment Programme, an extension of the car park at New Pudsey rail station has been proposed. The additional spaces would increase the opportunity for park and ride and would enhance connectivity to, from and within West Yorkshire. As well as increasing car parking capacity, this proposal will deliver more localised benefits as a result of improved access to the rail network.
