Work on a new train station in Leeds remains on hold over cost concerns.
The team behind the much-anticipated White Rose Railway Station, situated between Morley and Cottingley, announced a temporary pause in its construction last month. It came in light of an unforeseen increase in project costs, prompting a thorough evaluation of future funding sources to ensure the project's successful completion. Now a month on, the Yorkshire Evening Post understands that work remains paused with no restart date set for it to continue.
Network Rail, Munroe K and Spencer Group, all “remain committed” to finding a speedy solution to the present issues. Speaking last month, David Aspin, CEO of White Rose Park operators Munroe K, said: 'We firmly believe that taking this step now is in the best interest of ensuring the project's long-term success and sustainability. 'Our focus remains on delivering a state-of-the-art railway station that will serve as a cornerstone for economic development in south Leeds.
