Headingley railway station (formerly known as Headingley and Kirkstall railway station until some point early in the 20th century) is off Kirkstall Lane in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, on the Harrogate Line, 3 miles (5 km) north west of Leeds.
In the early twentieth century houses were built for railway workers by the station on Kirkstall Lane; although now in private ownership these are still existent and marked by plaques.
The predominantly student occupied houses between Kirkstall Lane and St. Ann's Drive are also within a short walk.
The station has a small car park which is free to use for rail users, although no form of proof of travel or ticket is required to be displayed however proof must be produced if asked by an authorised person as detailed on the signs around the car park.
In July 2011, the Harrogate Chamber of Commerce proposed to electrify the line with 750 V DC third rail, using D Stock of the London Underground, to substantially increase capacity.
