White Rose is a planned railway station between Cottingley and Morley railway stations on the Huddersfield Line. It was featured in the Government's plans for the railway in November 2017[2] and in July 2018 further details were revealed as part of the Connecting Leeds Vision[3] with the consultation inviting opinions from the general public.[4] It is anticipated by the developers that Cottingley railway station will close due to the proximity of the two stations.
