Leeds is a curious mixture. Although most of the station is now modern metal-and-glass, it has an older "big four" era concourse still in use. This is the entrance to the station's "south concourse", from New Station Street:

Inside the southern concourse. Barriers to the platforms lie beyond the destination boards:

Turning right from the southern concourse takes you to an area which is both a corridor and ticket counter:

With the ticket counter behind us we emerge into the older building that is the northern concourse:

Looking back along the northern concourse from the other end:

On the right in the previous photo is the exit/entrance to the station's car parking. This is that entrance from outside:

Finally the northern concourse gives out onto Wellington Street and this entrance:

On the wall above the entrance, rather worn, is the emblem of the LMS:

Returning to the southern concourse we approach the ticket barriers. These seem particularly prone to spitting out rover tickets.

On the north side of the station (on the left of the previous photo) is this ramp down to platform 1:

Platforms 1-6 terminate at the area near the ticket gates, but the station also has many through platforms. From the top of the stairs near the ticket gates, looking at the through platforms, with platform 8 nearest:

As well as the footbridge near the concourse, a second footbridge spans the tracks at the eastern end of the through platforms. Looking west at platforms 8 and 9 from this footbridge:

Escalators from all the through platforms take you to the western footbridge. Inside this:
