The cause of a “terrible” stench plaguing passengers at Leeds City Bus Station has been revealed.

Speaking on BBC Radio Leeds’ Message the Mayor, West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin said the odour had been caused by spilt milk.

Staff previously told the BBC it had been lingering in the bus station’s main foyer for more than 10 days, with customers likening it to a cow farm and fish.

A simple explanation but then they go a.bit Alan Partridge:

I was here on Sunday and the stench was overpowering, with passengers visibly affected.

While it may not be quite as pungent two days on, people are still holding their noses as they hurry to the exit.

One group of girls even ran to the doors to escape for some fresh air.

    “We got to the source and dealt with it. Hopefully over the next few days that smell will disappear.”

      “We know what that smells like in our own home,” Ms Brabin said of the spilt milk, which was discovered inside a fridge in the building.
