Description: | 19th January 2006.
Image shows a busy Leeds City Station. 1000 trains pass through daily and over 100,000 people. There are 17 platforms and these statistics make it the busiest station outside London. It opened in 1938, was renovated in 1967 and has recently undergone a major refurbishment. The north concorse was re-developed and restored by architects, Carey-Jones at a cost of ?2 million. The north concourse is listed and is an important example of Art Deco style railway architecture. It was designed by LMS railway architects W. Curtis Green and W.H. Hamlyn and has original pendant lights from the crossbeams. Here there is a good view of the restored coffered ceiling.
