Platform 1 is currently out of use and is being rebuilt into the future Platforms 0 and 1.
Platforms 2-17 are currently in use, plus a temporary platform 1 (or should that be -1 ?).
The temporary platform 1 is 131 m long, and not electrified, used by some Harrogate Line services.

There are several temporary changes to pedestrian paths to the platforms at the Station.
Temporary platform 1 access is via a temporary walkway.
The main change is access to trains at platforms 9-17 is via the old overbridge and also, for those unable to use the steps, via the goods lifts.

Also if you end up going down the wrong stairs you have to do the whole loop again. |

Not strictly true. There is no trains in the LTP booked in 0 but they can be put in by train planning teams on the days prior and indeed on the day.
For example booked in tomorrow:
1011 York - Leeds
1129 Leeds - York
1117 Skipton - Leeds
1212 Leeds - Bradford Forster Square
1517 Skipton - Leeds
1612 Leeds - Bradford Forster Square

Sunday 30 May partial closure
Network Rail said passengers should check their journey and plan ahead as work begins on a project to improve the track layout between platforms 4 and 6 at Leeds station throughout the day.
There will be limited capacity at Leeds, as platforms 0–6 and 8–11 will be closed.
Trains via Leeds West Junction will either run from/to/via the alternative platforms 12–16 or be replaced by road services.
This also means that the Leeds – Wakefield Westgate line will have a limited service, as most local trains will be replaced by buses.
Trains ARE running
* Kirkstall Forge – Bradford F Sq/Ilkey
* Leeds – Skipton (electrics only) (Leeds–Saltaire NONSTOP, Shipley NOT served)
* Skipton – Appleby
* Skipton – Heysham Harbour
* Horsforth – York
* Bradford Interchange – Huddersfield
* Bradford Interchange – Manchester V
* York – Blackpool N (Leeds–Sowerby Bridge NONSTOP, Bramley, New Pudsey, Bradford Interchange and Halifax NOT served)
* Leeds – London King's Cross
* Wakefield Kirkgate – Knottingley
* Wakefield Westgate – Sheffield (locals)
* Wakefield Westgate – Doncaster (local)

The Shipley bit doesn't make much sense, running Kirkstall to Bradford via Shipley, but the Leeds to Skipton trains miss Shipley, what going on there lol?

Shipley is a triangular station with platforms on all sides. The only trains on the Airedale & Wharfedale Lines that don't serve Shipley are the ones running between Leeds and Ilkley. |

But the Skipton to Leeds services are down to skip Shipley, despite travelling through platform 1 and 2 as normal. Eg the 1329 from Saltaire www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L08112/2021-05-30/detailed Shipley is "service stop unadvertised". When using the journey planner for Shipley to Leeds it routes you via Bingley. I think that's what joseph means? |

I could understand having unadvertised stops on the Blackpool trains, meaning they COULD operate via the Mirfield route if necessary without disrupting the scheduled stops, but there's no other way to get between Saltaire and Leeds. |

Skipton trains are skipping Shipley to ensure that passengers to/from Shipley are not taking up capacity on each train that could be needed by passengers travelling further.
With Shipley also served by Bradford trains, putting Shipley passengers on these services means more space for those travelling to/from the likes of Bingley and Keighley and not meaning those passengers left behind at Leeds with a half enpty train by the time it reaches Saltaire.

They're not going via Mirfield - other trains (to Manchester) are going by that route. |

They really think it's better for all passengers from Shipley to Leeds to get the hourly train to Kirkstall Forge and then a bus, taking twice as long as normal, despite the line being clear? If there's any substantial numbers doing that they're going to need a lot of buses. If there aren't, they're putting those that do that to a lot of extra effort. They've also removed the usual additional Lancaster and Carlisle trains which will be starting at Skipton. So anyone going Shipley to Carlisle (usually a direct service) will have to change 3 times. |

So assume it's the same thing, keeping the train free for passengers passing through. |

Anyone going Shipley to stations North of Skipton can travel on a Bradford to Skipton train and change at Skipton - this is one change, although admittedly there is further engineering work north of Appleby. The issue is not the line being open to Leeds, the issue is available platforms at Leeds. On Sunday there is only 7 platforms open, two of which are the East facing bays. |
