The box at Horsforth has now gone. Signalling was all transferred to Harrogate (I'm not sure if that means the semaphores on the line from Harrogate to York are now lights or not). The box was demolished earlier this year to make room for sidings for a new peak time Leeds/Horsforth commuter. It was kind of nice standing on the platform at Horsforth, seeing the old goods shed (albeit now part of a timber yard), the box just down the line, and the pair of sidings. Echos of the old station.
