In 1969, staff were removed and all the buildings demolished, as part of the general retrenchment of railways in West Yorkshire at that time.The car park was extended, using land formerly occupied by the two sidings; they still remain, in a truncated form.Ticket machines are also provided, along with a long-line P.A system and digital information screens.However, a West Yorkshire Transport Feasibility Study, published in 2015, stated that the authority would not continue with plans for the new station.[2] A turn-back facility was constructed at Horsforth station in 2012, which will permit future timetabling improvements on the line.
