I'm surprised an announcement was made at New Street as they don't tend to bother making announcements these days for advertising services. The only way to check is to physically look at the customer information displays.
Ah that’s a bit unfortunate. Apologies, a bit off topic but how did it become disconnected?
Good to know they can’t be bothered to be helpful!
I'm not sure. It will be back at some point. It's been about three weeks so far I believe.
The footpaths that were supposed to be closed from today aren't. The only activity I've seen was the delivery of a large pile of the red and white barriers, similar to the those blocking off the former drop-off point outside wetherspoons, into the surface car park.
A lot of the time and money was spent underground in the arches below.
There have been boards up for a very long time when I’ve ventured out that way so can’t really see what the aim is. Wasn’t there an Indian restaurant in the arches below, and has that space now all gone? In theory the Scarborough pub should be delighted to not be faced with a bus stop and brick wall, but is if all really necessary
There was, and before that it was Dino's (my favourite place to spend an evening dining). The former rotunda is roughly where the lift/lifts is/are (I don't know how many there are).
We can discuss whether what they have done is 'right' but something needed doing 100%. It was an awful experience coming out of the main entrance prior to the improvements.
The portakabins are part of the messroom facility changes coming to Leeds. Northern will be using them while the offices upstairs are renovated. TPE/XC/LNER are going into Princes Exchange.
Exactly, it was an awful, dingy, steep staircase before that was like something from the song ‘Down In The Tube Station at Midnight.’ It’s definitely going to be better now if not perfect.
Ah. I know there's a gate on P0 leading to the path down to the other car park; didn't realise there was one to the area near the multi-storey as well (unless it hasn't been done yet). Unless the walking time from the existing gate still works, of course.
It's a lower case d, but it looks to be placed slightly too low (if that's not an optical illusion).
I think that's right, both the d and the s are placed slightly too low.
I think that the ‘d‘ is correct; the second ‘e’ is too high, the first one and the ‘s’ are a bit high as well. The letter spacing (kerning?) is all over the shop as well.
I might be wrong but there is a large gate off P1 that @dodecahedron67 could be referring to.
If you walked through a gate on P1 you'd end up on the track for P0...
Platform 1 carries on for about 3 coach lengths past the buffer stops of platform 0. There is definitely a gate at the end of platform 1 next to the ticket office.
Just passed through Leeds and had a look. It's quite a hefty metal gate which looks like a section of fencing but is actually a sliding gate and it opened as I was there so it's definitely in use
No it’s not. That gate is an emergency exit, but mainly used for station and train cleaners to access the main bin area. Traincrew use a pathway that goes between the bins and into a set of doors out of public view to access the admin block, there is also a door between the first class lounge and McDonald’s on the platform side that also allows access to the admin block.
I think I know what entries and exits I can and can’t use.
I think we're talking about the same thing, I'm just not describing it very well because I don't use it and I've only been to the P0 area twice since it opened...
... in which case, this confuses me. The riverside steps are still open, so I guess that they will close on Monday as well.
Overall the escalator situation has been better recently, but there was one night this week where the main P8 upward escalator was out of action, and both the upward South entrance escalators were also broken too, which continued into the next morning.
