Leeds City bus station 4.65

Leeds City bus station serves the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is owned and managed by Metro. It is situated between the Quarry Hill and Leeds City Markets areas of Leeds city centre. The National Express Dyer Street Coach Station adjoins the bus station. It can be accessed from York and Dyer Streets.HistoryThe bus station was opened in 1938 and was previously known as Leeds Central bus station. The original bus station was built at the same time and in the same style as the Quarry Hill flats. The original bus station was used as the back-drop for the opening credits of Yorkshire Television sitcom, Queenie's Castle.The site was refurbished in 1964 and rebuilt, being officially reopened on 25 March 1996 when National Express relocated to the site. Other bus stations on Lady Lane and Wellington Street were closed when the new station opened.The bus station is situated 880yd away from the railway station meaning there is no central transport 'hub' in Leeds. To answer this a small bus interchange was constructed at the railway station in 2005 and linked to the bus station by a Freecitybus zero-fare bus service, which was replaced by the LeedsCityBus service in April 2011.
