Comments

  • Served by trains on the Leeds branch of the East Coast Main Line and the Midland Main Line. Also served by local services, all which start/end at Leeds. Plans will move the station slightly, rebuild the station building and lengthen the platforms so they can be split A and B sections like at Birmingham New Street. The developers seemed to have ignored the state of Wakefield's other station at Kirkgate.
  • Wakefield Kirkgate has not been ignored and demolition work is now in progress!
