£42 million Leeds Bradford Airport interchange proposed for Harrogate line
Designs for a new £42 million rail station on the Harrogate line that would connect with Leeds Bradford Airport have been published.
West Yorkshire Combined Authority is behind the plans for the new station, which would be built between Horsforth station and Bramhope tunnel.
The station, which would be called Leeds Bradford Airport Parkway, would be a bus interchange for the airport. It would also include a 350-space park and ride service.
The project aims to provide better public transport connections from the airport to residential urban areas, such as Harrogate, Leeds and York, and take more cars off roads.
