Leeds city rail station is the busiest after Birmingham in England (outside of London )& only behind Birmingham and Glasgow in Britain. The passenger numbers are rising at a much quicker rate than Birmingham or Glasgow. Connect this station directly up to LBA and suddenly the whole of the north of England has a very quick way to get straight to the airport could. It would take 10min from the centre of Leeds that of course will have a HS2line too. An LBA train station would be a game changer in the fight for potential northern air passengers.
