Kirkstall Forge is a proposed station between Leeds and Shipley, West Yorkshire, England. Metro, the Passenger Transport Executive for West Yorkshire, intends to open the station, along with Apperley Bridge, by 2011.
Plans
In 1999, Metro announced that Apperley Bridge was amongst five new or reopened stations which they wished to see achieved over the ensuing five years. One of these stations has opened - Glasshoughton in 2005.
In July 2007, Leeds City Council approved a planning application to redevelop the Kirkstall Forge site, and the developer, Commercial Estates Group, has committed £4 million to the building of a railway station, and to the provision of new rolling stock. Metro is now preparing a business case and designs for both Apperley Bridge and Kirkstall Forge. If the plans progress, the stations could be open by 2011.

In September 2008, the West Yorkshire PTE announced that the Yorkshire & Humber Regional Transport Board had approved funding for its "rail growth programme" which includes stations at Apperley Bridge and Kirkstall Forge [cite web|url=http://www.wypta.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/91075604-9753-4AB9-848B-B1C0661EE3BD/0/RWG19SEPTEMBER2008ITEM6.pdf|format=PDF|publisher=West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Authority|title=Railplan Update|date=2008-09-16|accessdate=2008-09-29] . This will allow a full business case for the two stations to be developed.
