Leeds Station
A Northern train for Manchester Victoria is standing at platform 11. It is a 3-car class 195 DMU, number 195125. This is one of their fleet of Civity trains, built in Spain by Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles.

The platforms are linked by an overbridge deck with lifts and moving staircases. Every part of the station is "step free" for people with limited mobility. Many of the catering kiosks are located on the overbridge deck - see SE2933 : A long way from Cornwall, for example.
