There has been talk of reopening a station at Strensall as well as neighbouring Haxby for a number of years. These reopenings were part of the 2001 local transport plan. But in 2010 even the more modest plan to reopen only Haxby was postponed pending further funding decisions.[2] Recently calls for a new rail link north of York station were reignited during the local elections of 2019 where Stensall was cited for its lost links and possible redevelopment.
