Are the National Express station and Leeds train station close to each other?

Question

I'm meeting a friend but would like to arrive by bus as it's cheaper than train, however she is taking the train and I need to know if it's close by so I can easily reach her. I'd be arriving 30 minutes before her.

If they're ages apart I'll just take the train!

Answer 1

Leeds National Express coach station seems to have moved since I was last there about 5 years ago and there seem to be a number of different bus stations. The address of the City Centre one is:- Leeds, city centre, Briggate, The Viaduct, West Yorkshire. Go down Briggate* to Boar Lane (Briggate continues ahead of you, but is pedestrianised - don't go up there) and turn left. Walk along to City Square and you will see the station. It's only a 5 or 10 minute walk, so you will have plenty of time.

* I don't know where you coach will arrive so I can't tell you to turn left or right in the coach station. However, you will see the railway line on a high viaduct - walk up Briggate with your back to it!
