Leeds Station southern entrance plans approved

[Leodian]

This is a side view showing the stairs. The photo (which I took with others on March 19 2015) is much reduced in size and quality. It's a shame that security boarding stops the taking of photos of the outside work from inside the Dark Arches, as little of that work can be seen from in the Dark Arches.

It looks far more substantial than the renders led me to believe it would be.

A couple of photos that I took today (April 2 2015). The first shows the framework looking like a giant Meccano construction (note the two men high up). The second shows some framework ready to be added to the construction.

Is it to have lifts or escalators? Because that looks like an awful lot of steps to climb.

The renders, which disappeared when wymetro site was reorganised, show escalators and I would think current building regs would require lifts for disabled access.

There are several renders in this https://www.wymetro.com/uploadedFiles/W ... ummary.pdf but the one on page 9 is probably the clearest

I feel bound to reiterate the sentiments that I've mentioned before - "THOSE POOR FOLKS IN ALL THE ADJACENT FLATS."
I do appreciate that a southern entrance to the station is necessary, but surely a less offensive and intrusive "carbunkle" than this could have been designed ??

I suppose it's a generational thing but I find the new entrance to be strikingly interesting in its appearance.

It will actually bring some benefits to the people living in the flats,firstly the area around is being pedestrianised and I would imagine that there will be an increase in the value of those flats given their improved access to the station.

As for noise,well it can't get any worse,what with the trains trundling in and out all day and the ceaseless announcements.

Furthermore a number of currently vacant units in the dark arches and at the base of Candle House (the cylinder shaped building) are currently being fitted out for signed up occupants (bars and restaurants) which will further enhance the area.
