I think the doc does mention the airport, but not clear on how it would serve it yet (ie to Parkway or Yeadon or terminal).

True, but by the same logic this would happen when boarding the train in Leeds too. However it's not relevant since it's before the journey starts, not during the middle of it. Therefore it doesn't add to the total journey time...

I'd expect the shuttle buses would need to wait 15-20 minutes at the station? They need to arrive 10 minutes before the train scheduled arrival time. This gives a couple of minutes to empty the bus of all passengers including luggage, a minute for passengers to walk to station building and...

Sorry those calcs are from the airport in to Leeds city centre Of course from Leeds to the airport the wait for shuttle bus will be 5-10 mins at maximum.

Does worry me slightly but key will be getting the planning permission approved. If that's successful at least there are no more excuses left besides funding/timing. I can't see current or future owners wanting to put another scheme through the same process again... So it'll be do or die.

Agree... My calcs are from airport in to Leeds... From Leeds to Airport presumably be something like 15 mins average wait for train (if half hourly) 18 min train 10 minute transfer wait to allow all passengers with luggage etc to board 5 min shuttle journey Of course if 4 trains per hour the...

Well if the frequency of trains is half hourly then some people will wait 30 minutes if they just miss the shuttle. Others will wait 0 minutes if they catch it just as it is setting off. On average that would be 15 minutes wait. Not made up but a best estimate using reasonable assumptions...

Yes that's £16 per car per day. Or per my maths £5,840 per car per year. A monthly bus pass is £61 so circa £700 per year. So you could hand out 3000 free annual bus passes for 20 years and it would be cheaper and take ten times more cars off the road.

At £42m with 350 parking spaces then over 20 years that's £6k per car taken off the road.

I have to say I don't think they're 100% wrong... It seems odd there are no windows visible from the platform... Also I don't mind corten steel (Broadcasting place in Leeds looks amazing) bit feel they've gone a bit overboard with it here. Works well on a highly designed building, less so on a...

If a train every 30 mins then average wait for the shuttle bus 15 mins. 5 min shuttle to station 10 minute minimum early arrival to allow time for everyone to alight and get cases to platform/buy tickets 18 minute journey to Leeds Total 48 mins (incl taking cases on then off a bus, only to load...

Interestingly the consultation now puts the cost of a direct rail link at £350m to £400m according to a "study". Wonder if they'll release said study. Clearly the cost benefit wouldn't work out if that's the true cost but given they previously estimated up to £100m then not sure if they know...

Surely the airport would gift some of its long term car park space over to P&R in return for a direct rail link... Afterall it could always deck some of its existing expansive surface parking. That would vastly reduce land assembly and earthwork costs.

I assume it must have also included re doing the layout on approach, but even so it seems in unbelievable amount of money for some electric poles, a short stretch of rail and a breeze block platform...

Putting heavy rail to one side, the £42m would be better spent on the tram or tram-train solution... It's a scandalous amount for a P&R. Even if initially there was a heavy rail to tram/tram-train interchange for the last mile or two that would be a superior solution and better use of money. At...

At £42m I think it's insanity that they're building 2 platforms and a car park.

So likely 11th https://democracy.leeds.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=947&MId=10068&Ver=4

Suppose there are quite a fair few comments and details to be properly considered and reviewed!

With the new terminal not on the 7th Jan plans panel agenda, does anyone know the next step planning wise?

Not on Plans Panel agenda for Jan?! https://democracy.leeds.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=947&MId=10065&Ver=4
