£15.2m for two escalators and a ticket barrier

Leeds station’s new south entrance has been approved. At a cost of £15.2million  it will provide easier access to the station from “Holbeck Village”. The entrace will have passenger information, ticket sales and ticket barriers at bridge level.

Having a knowledge of escalators and elevators thurst upon me at home, can someone explain why the proposed solution costs £15.2million?

For those familar with the area, the proposed entrance is in the wrong place for many commuters and will have most benefit to guests at City Inn hotel.

It could have been achieved for a much lower price, but we welcome the development if it increases the number of passengers using the station.
