Leeds New Lane was a proposed new railway station to accommodate High Speed Two rail services in West Yorkshire, England. It was planned to be constructed on a viaduct on New Lane south of Leeds city centre, the River Aire and Leeds City station[1] to which it would be connected by an elevated walkway.[2] The site is occupied by Central Park, a small low-rise office park built in the 1990s and other small office buildings.
Whilst originally the preferred station option, a November 2015 review of the phase two route instead proposed that the Leeds HS2 platforms should join onto the side of the existing Leeds station.[3] Unlike New Lane, this would have provided a common concourse for easy interchange between high speed and classic rail services.
