Kirkstall was a railway station in Kirkstall, City of Leeds, West Yorkshire. It was located between and on the right bank of the River Aire.
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.
