TSP Projects and Network Rail completed the renovation works to the roof and southern concourse of Leeds Station, the UK third busiest railway station outside of London.
The work involved the reinvention of the late 1960s wooden roof and updates to the station entrance, Southern concourse retail space and ticket gateline. New lighting and a gold entrance façade adds to the passenger experience, and all completed whilst the station remaining non-stop opened to the public.
The project delivered additional design elements to offer convenient and enjoyable environment for the 30 million passengers travelling through Leeds every year, delivering an aesthetically pleasing finish and a more secure, future proof station.
To maximise first impressions a gold metal façade was chosen, a transparent roof was created to allow natural daylight to flood the concourse and human circadian rhythmic lighting was incorporated into the design by TSP Projects to mimic natural daylight.
Natural lines were created inside the concourse to encourage the ‘flow of traffic’ through the space, subliminally encouraging passengers to move in the direction of the gateline.
The station’s information boards, and points have been replaced and advertisement screens and a Customer Information Point were installed.
An Automatic Ticket Gateline (ATG) was installed to relieve congestion on both the concourse and platforms.
In addition, a new waiting area has been created at the southern concourse in between the entrance and the new Customer Information Point.
