It was accessed from Pollard Lane, which still crosses the railway on a bridge there, and served mainly the southern parts of Horsforth in West Yorkshire, England. HistoryThe station was opened by the Leeds and Bradford Railway in 1846. The latter was later absorbed by the Midland Railway), which became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway upon the 1923 Grouping. In 1905 the station was expanded with a second pair of tracks and a goods shed south of the line.[1] During World War I the station served in particular the National Ordnance Factory in Newlay.[2] Upon nationalisation, the station became part of the network of the Eastern Region of British Railways in 1948. It was closed on 22 March 1965 by the British Railways Board as a consequence of the Beeching Axe,[3] together with the stations Armley Canal Road, Kirkstall, Calverley & Rodley and Apperley Bridge on the same line. Current situationThe station buildings have been demolished after closure, and the additional tracks built in 1905 have been lifted. Only the through tracks remain, which now carry services of the Airedale Line and the Wharfedale Line.[1] {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous = Calverley and Rodley |next = Kirkstall Forge |route = Midland Railway Leeds and Bradford Railway |col = {{MR colour}} }}{{s-end}} References1. ^1 {{cite web | url = https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4050401 | author = Nigel Thompson | title = Newlay & Horsforth railway station (site), Yorkshire | publisher = geograph.org.uk | date = 30 June 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web | url = https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/14994 | title = National Ordnance Factory, Newlay, Leeds | author = Mark Stevenson | publisher = geograph.org.uk | year = 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.lostrailwayswestyorkshire.co.uk/station%20closures.htm | title = Station Closures | publisher = Lost Railways West Yorkshire}} External links{{commonscat|Newlay and Horsforth railway station}}
