- For those of you using public transport, in particular a train, to get to Leeds this year - this one is for you.

Heading to Leeds Festival can be an adventure in itself, but with so many people descending on Bramham Park, navigating the travel can be a daunting task.
The logistical nightmare of hopping off the train and then running to transfer to a shuttle bus after a particularly long journey, and one to come, and setting up camp (unless you’re glamping, in which case it’s slightly easier) is not one you want to contend with. Where are the correct pick-up points at Leeds Train Station? Where are the designated drop-off zones at the festival grounds?
Sounds stressful, right?
So to aid you with a smooth transfer from train to private hire or local taxi, here’s our guide to where your chariot to get to Bramham Park from Leeds Train Station, where you’ll need to be dropped off when you get closer to the festival site, and an idea how much it ‘could’ cost you for the ride - and why it seems so expensive this year.
We’ve also included a few local taxi companies also, if you’re not having much luck with Uber and the throng of other people, no doubt in the same boat as you, waiting for surge pricing to calm down.
Where are the taxi pick-up points at Leeds Train Station?
Taxis and private hires can pick you up from the Leeds Train Station car park, situated just off New Station Street. To make your way to that area:
- Come out through the main gates at Leeds Train Station, and walk towards the main exit.
- Take a left where you see the ticketing offices, ticketing machines and a selection of shops such as Sainsbury’s Local and Starbucks.
- Keep walking in that direction until you see on your left-hand side a pair of electric doors, leading to the car park.
Be aware that the level of traffic that will be around that area, especially during the Friday morning of the festival, means that some taxis and private hires may have to either drive into the car park itself to wait (you’ll see the parking spaces when you walk outside, to your left hand side) or on other occasions you may need to exit the station (right hand side) to identify your private hire.
