It made getting to the staiton a lot easier
Once upon a time there was a flyover-cum-bridge near the train station in Leeds city centre that made getting to the other side of the road a doddle, as opposed to trying to dodge and weave through all the traffic.
The current process for getting to the station, from say, the Trinity shopping centre is hardly arduous, but the traffic lights can infuriate some people. There are two sets, one on the initial taxi rank outside the entrance of the station and one just opposite O'Neil's, it can be a bit treacherous trying to cross, especially on a busy day - which is why the flyover was a preferred option.
The station has a great amount of history behind it since its creation in 1938, before this there had been other stations but the one we know today is quite different. Because the station sits on a hill there are arches underneath, these are commonly known as the 'dark arches'. Speaking to a few people in Leeds, it seems not many are aware of the flyover, but those that were, agreed that it would make sense to have something like that in place.
