Marsh Lane railway station was built as the Leeds terminus of the Leeds and Selby Railway. The combined passenger and goods station opened in 1834. During the construction of the extension of the Leeds and Selby Line into central Leeds in the 1860s the station was demolished, and replaced with a large goods station and a separate through passenger station.
In 2019, councillors at Leeds City Council suggested in the local media that serious discussions were underway about reopening the station as the city's second major railway station.
