 Horsforth Woodside was also the name of a very early station on the Leeds-Northallerton railway, but was closed completely in 1864.The fact that both this old closed station and the proposed new station shared the same name is a matter known to cause confusion when railway historical matters in this area are being discussed.The proposed station would have served a proposed housing development at the former Woodside Quarry as well as providing a park and ride service in to Leeds city centre.
