The plans would effectively see the facility, currently in a residential area of south Leeds, move half a mile down the line to a site at the White Rose office park.

Closure plans for Cottingley Station had previously been hinted at in council papers, but only now have the proposals finally been announced, with confirmation the site is expected to close at some point between late 2022 and Spring 2023.
