Today, (Saturday 14th August) Network Railway are holding an event at Leeds railway station to celebrate the fact that Saturday footfall figures have returned to pre-covid levels.

Following the lifting of restrictions, passengers have returned to train travel with footfall at the station increasing by 15% since the 17th July.

The event at the station will celebrate the returning of passengers as they reconnect with family and friends.

DJ @missdjcandy will be on the main concourse entertaining those passing through the station and free product samples will be given out by retailers on the station.

A social media competition is also running, with a chance to win a hamper, with passengers being encouraged to take a photo of the event and post it on twitter tagging @networkraillds and using #BackInLeedsStation.

Nick Cooper, Network Rail‘s Station Manager at Leeds station, said: “It’s wonderful to see footfall returning to pre-COVID levels and we look forward to celebrating the return of passengers to Leeds station with our event this Saturday.

“We want to create a feel-good atmosphere and remind passengers that our station team is here to help everyone travel with confidence.”
