Leeds City, the station now known just as "Leeds", was formed by the LMS and LNER in 1939 by combining two adjacent stations (Leeds New, a former LNWR & NER joint operation, and the Midland Railway's Leeds Wellington) into one.

Another station where two adjacent stations have been merged into one is Wrexham General.

Until today, I'd always thought New Station St. in Leeds had that name because it was "the new street to the railway station". Now it seems it was really "the street to New Station".
