The South Route would start at a new Park & Ride site at Stourton, near the intersection for the M1/M621 (at junction 7 of the M621), and would travel into Leeds through Hunslet and Clarence Dock.
The map to the right shows our preferred route in orange, or you can view a larger aerial map (jpeg) of the route.
Our preferred route starts at the Park & Ride site, it then diverts from the A61 along a new ‘NGT-only’ link road next to the railway line, before passing Hunslet District Centre.
Key issues:
- Slightly longer route, but faster and more reliable;
- Provides a new public transport service around Pepper Road;
- Directly serves Hunslet District Centre;
- Dedicated link road would result in some loss of land from allotments, recreational areas and land along the railway boundary; and
The images below show Hunslet Penny Hill as it looks now (on the left) and as it could look.
