Deferred and ghost stations

Several stations proposed for the DART Light Rail network are classified as deferred. As defined by DART, a deferred station is one that has been identified, but will not be constructed until land use changes warrant the construction of a station.[22] In addition to the deferred stations, the network also features a single ghost station, the Knox–Henderson Station. The underground station was excavated at the time of the original construction of the Red and Blue Lines, only to have plans subsequently scrapped due to neighborhood opposition.[23]
