From Retford, take the A638 going South. Take the first left when you get to a place called Eaton. The road is signposted Upton and E.Drayton. It's just after coming around a corner if you come from Retford. Then follow the road until it gets to a sharp right and you'll be able to see the crossing.
If you're coming from Newark, follow the signs for Retford until you get to Gamston. After going through Gamston, it's the second right.
There's a gravel car park near the actual crossing.
Nothing nearby, Retford is only a few miles to the north.
The light is good in the morning for both. If you cross the tracks, you get good views for both angles for photos. If you're filming, down by the road is a good spot for trains going northbound, but not southbound. There's also a bridge just up the road with arrow straight shots in both directions.
