There is a small lay-by to the East of the bridge.
Stagecoach Bus Route 51 from Church Way in Chesterfield, next to the "Crooked Spire" takes you to Tupton. (approx 15 minutes journey) Alight on Queen Victoria Road at the Miners Welfare Stop. Then continue forward on foot straight on - about 5 mins walk to the railway bridge (on Bridge Street)
A chippy is up Green Lane, turn right after the Miner's Welfare. There is also a Coffee shop on the corner of Green Lane and Queen Victoria Road. There is also a convenience shop/post office and Pharmacy on Green Lane. There is also a good pub "The New Inn" serving real ale and good food. Get off the bus at the stop just passed the pub (stop before the Miners Welfare).
The Railway line runs North South and the comfortable shooting views are of Southbound trains and a side view of Northbound trains. The southern side of the bridge does not have a foot path, so you will be standing on the road with your back to traffic.
