Railway Gen Group
Midlands Gen
Photographic notes
The road runs at 90 degrees to the line which is a curve under the bridge, so the light will favour Derby departures up until mid day and arrivals after lunch. There are a number of bushes that will start to encroach on the later coaches of workings but nothing on the front few vehicles.
Given the proximity of the A6 to where you will stand road noise will be a serious problem for videographers.
