They are both grammatically correct, but "Does it stop at Kirkstall?" is more natural in that situation. This is because the answer is predetermined and (one assumes) known with certainty by the addressee. However, if boarding the bus, or already on the bus, it is better to ask the driver "Do you stop at Kirkstall?"
