The station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1860 and closed in March 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts.[1] Originally located south of Kirkstall Bridge next to today's Wyther Lane,[2] it had been moved north of it by 1906.[3] It was demolished after closure and no trace of the station now remains. However, the goods shed, south of Kirkstall Bridge, still exists.
