Road directions
From the A1(M), Junction 8:
Take the exit for Little Wymondyley and then take the next left towards Todds Green.

Option 1:
Follow the road under the bypass bridge and when the road bends to the right turn into the turning on the left and park here.
From here follow the public footpath (honest it's there!) across the horse field and then keeping the wire fence on left follow it round through the woods to the location.

Option 2:
Directly after the left hand turn, to Todds Green, is a farmers road, with gate, park here being careful not to block access.
Then follow the farm track down into the fields, when you reach the end of the track you should be able to see the East Coast Main Line and the bridge across the field and to your right.
Parking
Depending on which way you approach the location there is a few off road parking spots, but you will be a good few minutes walk from your car. See the road directions for more details.
Public transport
There is a bus stop on the Little Wymondley Road, The routes 80 or 101, which can be found here, call at Little Wymondley and should provide access to the locaiton.
Amenities
There is nothing at the location. There is a Sainsburys about a mile and a half away on the other side of the A1(M). That aside Stevenage town center has anything you would probably need.
Accommodation
There are plenty of Hotels and B&Bs in Stevanege.
Railway Gen Group
Anglia Gen
Photographic notes
This is pretty much only a southbound/looking north shot. The shot of northbound workings is, in my opinion, far too tight.
The location is also more preferable for mornings as by mid day the sun will be round to the west of the line.
