As per the title, though it's probably something of an insult to even call that station Haxby given how far north it is.
Strensall is 2 minutes further out of York by rail, but has much worse bus usage I hear, because it takes a fair bit longer and stops a lot (given it covers a longer distance).
Why couldn't the station have been built at Strensall? The curly bridge site could've accomodated lifts if the station were to be in the Park Estate area, or any level crossing in the village would be fine for step free.
Instead, we have a silly excuse for a Haxby station - where people will have to walk a distance to even get to the station, to then get to the more wrong side of York, not much quicker than the bus. Not to mention that the houses they want to build are still several fields across from the station site with potentially no corner cutting route to the station so they'll have a lovely long walk as well to get there - Forget it. It's a park and ride for no-one, and it's no use to locals.
