Horsforth Woodside railway station
Encyclopedia
Horsforth Woodside is a proposed railway station to be built on the site of Woodside Quarry near Horsforth
in West Yorkshire
, England. It would be located on the Harrogate Line
near the extant Horsforth station
which would also stay open.
The station would serve a proposed housing development at the former Woodside Quarry as well as providing a park and ride
service in to Leeds city centre.
Timetable constraints mean that it is unlikely the station would be open until 2014. A turn-back facility is proposed for Horsforth station, which if approved would be available in 2012 and so construction of this station can take place.
