The first rationalisation occurred in 1938, when two railway stations (New and Wellington) were combined to form Leeds City Station, opening on 2 May that year.
This was designed by LMS architect William Henry Hamlyn.
The third railway station, Leeds Central, was unaffected by the change.
Part of Wellington railway station later became a parcels depot.
The north concourse and the Queens Hotel were built at this time.
