Cross Gates station serves an eastern suburb of Leeds, on a line leading east out of Leeds station itself.

In the 1905 version of the previous photo, a footbridge led off to the right to link up with platform 1 opposite. This bridge was closed in the 90s and removed in 2008, but evidence remains. This new brick, and a patch opposite, mark where the bridge was:
