Horsforth station sign

Horsforth is a small station in the suburbs of Leeds, on the line out to Harrogate. We visited in the afternoon and managed to take these pictures in between trains full of commuters and schoolchildren.

The entrance leads down to the car park, and the modern shelter on platform 2:
