If you look carefully around the map (which appears to be a Midland Railway 'distance diagram'?)and know your local railways then you will see it names several goods only sites and even junctions. It should not be taken as evidence of a passenger station.

Woodside was indeed only ever goods sidings. It was situated roughly where the Fords Sidings are now.
