Leeds Water Taxi

If any of you are visiting Leeds, I highly recommend trying this out. I did it last week and it was great, especially as it is a free service. It stops right behind the new South entrance / exit to Leeds station. Here is footage of the journey from Leeds Dock back to Granary Wharf, where Leeds Station is.

Looks great - must try to get to Leeds again, been about thirty years! Who's sponsoring this?

"The boats, which can carry up to 11 passengers, are being paid for by Allied London, the company that owns Leeds Dock – formerly Clarence Dock."

Something similar operated in Bristol in the mid 1980s when I lived there i.e. a free waterbus service in the daytime.
