Kirkstall Forge

CRS Code	KLF
Collected date	20/09/18

Kirkstall Forge was opened back in 2015 alongside Apperley Bridge, but so far the only thing there besides the station is an office block. Unsurprisingly, most trains whizz straight through, but perhaps things will change when there's more than just the one office block claiming to be "the best connected in Leeds"... It's an open-plan station, with the platform giving directly onto the road. These pre-rusted bollards run along the boundary of platform 1:

Another feature that distinguishes the platform from the rest of the site is the mosaic red paving:

And just next to the station is the only other building on the site, a posh office block:

Just at the western end of platform 1 there is a small grassed area with a couple of picnic tables:

Behind the station on the platform 2 side is a stretch of scrubland and then woodland with cycle paths in it. Here we look back towards the station:
