 A turn-back facility was built in 2012 at nearby Horsforth station which allows for timetabling improvements in the future.This was coupled to the intention of opening the new station at Horsforth Woodside.In a 2014 feasibility study, the West Yorkshire Combined Authority decided not to pursue with Horsforth Woodside for a number of reasons; the opening of Apperley Bridge and Kirkstall Forge stations on the Airedale Line (which are in the same area), its proximity to Horsforth railway station and the proposal for a Park and Ride facility at Boddington nearby.
