Far enough away that other members keep telling me it's as much to serve the offices between the Mall and the M621, rather than the mall itself: in which case they shouldn't be calling it White Rose Centre.Just how far away from the retail complex is the proposed White Rose station? I second your reservations about the possible demise of Cottingley for the reasons you stated.
In the planning for the new Manchester Metrolink stop at the intu Trafford Centre, it made sure that it was situated extremely near to one of the main entrances to the complex buildings there, for obvious reasons.
Given that Leeds city centre is a far greater retail draw than the White Elephant Centre can ever dream of being, I'd rather Leeds City Council would heed the mistakes of their neighbour to the south and not starve their city centre of investment in order to subsidise a frankly rather rubbish out-of-town mall. At least Meadowhall is a decent shopping centre unlike WRC. If a meteorite dropped on the WRC overnight I'd be popping the champagne.
