Talk:Leeds railway station

message: Under the "2002 Rebuilding", There is no mention of Platform 10. Why? Doesn't it exist, in which case the station has only 16 platforms, unless it is platform 18 which has been forgotten?

message: Following User:Achmelvic's suggestion, I have merged the content of Railway stations in Leeds into this article.  --RFBailey 09:43, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger

message: The source quoted justifying Leeds station being the "the UK's 6th busiest station; the busiest outside of London"  ranks it as 18th, behind Glasgow Central, Manchester Picadilly, Birmingham New Street, Reading & Edinburgh. That would make it the 4th busiest in England outside London or the 6th busiest in th UK outside London. This all counts Clapham Junction, East Croydon & City Thameslink as London Stations.
Thought I'd mention this here before just changing the stat, presumably someone has another source?MGSpiller 16:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. The cited source does not support the claim. I'll delete it. DWaterson 12:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Since when has the penistone line terminated at leeds?  It's a sheffield to huddersfield line and this should be changed in the article.

thread_title:  Penistone line 

message: Should this now be called 'Leeds railway station'?  I'm guessing Leeds railway station is now its official name? Dupont Circle 21:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is (see the station information on the Network Rail and National Rail websites) as well as the train operating companies' timetables {GNER's for example). I support a move to Leeds railway station and the adjustment of the introduction to read "Leeds railway station (sometimes still known by its former name of Leeds City)..." -- Picapica 21:02, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've put in for a requested move on Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Uncontroversial_proposals  Dupont Circle 21:20, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

text: It's been moved and I've updated the article.  If anybody knows when the city bit was dropped as its official name, please add it to the article Dupont Circle 20:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

text: I have changed it slightly: locals, commuters, bus companies and some entry signage still refer to it as "Leeds City". I have changed it to "often still known by its former name of Leeds City".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anywikiuser (talk • contribs) 17:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Looking in the history, the only person who seems insistent that the station is "Leeds City" is User:Yunchy.  The definitive sources (RotP and station guide) both say "Leeds".  If it's random Wikipedia user vs. Network Rail, my money's on Network Rail every time.  217.33.218.200 (talk) 16:12, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

text: I would agree with NRTurner that this needs to be discussed. Yunchy provided a set of references which were removed by 217.33.218.200 and replaced by other references. The references need to be investigated and a consensus view sought on the matter rather than edit warring over a single word in the article. Keith D (talk) 13:15, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've provided links to sources that are not only authoritative but definitive.  I don't see what's left to discuss.  Stations in Britain do not have "legal names", or anything similar.  There is just the name maintained by Network Rail, and perhaps another name used by locals.  Looking around, our articles tend to follow the former, given we don't have articles named Swansea High Street station, Colchester North station, Newport High Street station, etc.   217.33.218.200 (talk) 16:57, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Has the roof of this station changed in some way within the last year-ish?
On the satellite map images it looks different.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.23.6 (talk) 21:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Roof 

message: It seems that Northern Rail are still pondering what to do about ticket barriers. Looks like that 'early 2008' target was overambitious. Article ought to be updated to reflect the fact that 'early 2008' is when they were thinking about it, instead of implying action... Donal Fellows (talk) 15:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Automated Barriers 

message: I have changed slightly the comment about there being plans for further platforms adjacent to Platform 1. This area was the site of the former Leeds Wellington (where the Leeds North / "Wellington Quarter" concourse is now) and not the former Leeds Central, which is over across the River Aire on Whitehall Road.

thread_title:  Future Plans 

message: "In 1869 New Station opened". What is the source of that date? Railway Magazine July 1915 p. 47 said, "Powers to erect the station were secured in 1865, and it was opened in April, 1867. On January 13th, 1892, a disastrous fire destroyed nearly the whole of the west end of the station, and the present complete edifice dates from the rebuilding following the conflagration."Johnragla (talk) 09:41, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Butt (1995), Leeds New opened 1 April 1869. --Redrose64 (talk) 19:21, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
