A report by HS2 boss Sir David Higgins said the original location in New Lane was "too isolated" and "too detached".
Leeds councillor Keith Wakefield said it was "great news" and he hoped the new station would become a "St Pancras in the North".
I just hope the reference to St Pancras is the current station and the run down heap from the 1990's or earlier
