00:00 Parking, I definitely not recommend the station because it's always filled with traffic, very costly, it's okay for a quick stop off but apart from that it's a bit of a nightmare.
00:10 I definitely, if you want to be in the town centre, I definitely recommend the core, maybe up by the Beckett University, anywhere around there definitely, but avoid the station for sure.
00:21 I personally don't drive but I have numerous friends that do and will not drive into Leeds City Centre anymore just because of the parking situation and with it all being one way.
00:31 So my advice is jump on a bus, get in a taxi or jump on the train.
00:38 Same as for me, my partner he works and drives so I don't drive but the best places he finds are like the Kew car parks, conveniently enough to be able to get out of Leeds which is obviously at the moment it's all going to one way now, he prefers those.
00:57 Best place you can park is like near Victoria, John Lewis, there's a quite big parking there. Also you have one parking near Merion Centre which is also good.
01:07 I don't drive anymore, I had to sell my car but yeah I find the Trinity's good for parking but it's quite pricey.
01:14 I don't drive myself but I'm with people that drive and one of the best car parks is Woodhouse car park. It's cheap and it's close to town and there's a lot of space there as well.
01:24 I think it's usually driving around for 20 minutes trying to find somewhere.
01:28 A lot of people my age don't drive anymore, I think my parents are kind of like why doesn't anyone your age have a car? I can't afford it and I would much rather good public transport than a million car parks in the city.
01:38 That being said I know that my friends who do drive have a hell of a time but I would rather like a good tram system, reliable buses, that kind of thing.
01:45 I've played the ground a number of times and I have to say trying to get into the ground from wherever you are by car is an extraordinary test of your intelligence, especially as they keep changing it.
