Take the A1 to Team Valley use the southern roundabout, but instead of going into Team Valley head south to Lamesley instead. The vantage point is reached by turning left at the following roundabout. There are alternative vantage points along the North-South road.
Alternatively, take any other route to Lamesley and then head east out of the village towards Harlow Green.
Usually OK to park on road - but not on the bridge itself. The best place is where the road rises from the floodplain to the west.
There are a few buses to Lamesley village. Alternatively, get a bus to Team Valley, get off at Sainsbury's (Team Valley) and walk towards Lamesley. Cross the roundabout and follow the route of the main road as above.
None at the location - but Team Valley and its amenities are about half a mile away
It is fairly easy for photography as the valley has some pretty wide angles. It depends on whether the subject is standing in the yard or moving. Northbound is easier for ECML trains. You might need a long lens to see some of the long-term visitors to the yard.
