Dewsbury, east of Huddersfield was the day's first station that wasn't just a few platforms and shelters - always a welcome change! The back entrance to the station is just to the west of the line, and is through this archway:

The entrance ramp leads to one end of the footbridge, just to the right of these steps down to platform 1, for trains northwards to Leeds:

The steps give out onto platform 1, seen here looking north:
