If your journey is a short one, consider walking or cycling instead. Connecting Leeds have updated their website with a handy guide on how to plan ahead which includes information on how to check capacity on buses and the safest cycle routes.

If you do need to drive in, you can avoid the hassle of finding a spot by parking at our newly expanded Elland Road park and ride site.

Shoppers are being urged to follow the COVID restrictions, including keeping distance from people outside your household bubble and wearing a face covering on public transport and in enclosed spaces.

You should not travel to the city centre if you or any members of your household bubble are displaying symptoms of coronavirus or if you or anyone in your household bubble has recently tested positive.

Guidance has been given to businesses to support them to operate safely, including ways to manage safe queuing outside stores and enhanced cleaning has been carried out. There will be sanitiser stations around the city centre, but please also remember to bring your own.
