00:18Train enthusiast Arlie Ramsden from Wakefield had only one birthday wish,
00:22to spend a few hours watching trains.
00:25Network Rail and industry partners arranged a surprise behind-the-scenes experience at Leeds Station,
00:31which was just the ticket to creating an unforgettable day.
00:34Arlie was diagnosed with leukaemia aged two and underwent three years of treatment,
00:39which seriously affected his physical ability for lengthy periods.
00:43He was still only a small child when he began using a frame,
00:46as he learned to walk for a second time.
00:49During the time he was unable to move around, Arlie's family had to find entertainment
00:53to fit around his needs, which is where his passion for trains began.
00:58Grandma Anne Ramsden converted an art desk into a tabletop train set,
01:03and in the process sparked Arlie's love of the railway.
01:06Now thirteen, Arlie was given a full tour of Leeds Station.
01:10He celebrated with cake in Leeds Station's dedicated quiet space called the Safe Hub,
01:15before heading out for more train watching.
01:18He also tried LNER's driver simulator and saw inside the cabs of Northern and LNER trains,
01:25which kept the birthday celebrations on track.
