Lighting is pretty good throughout the day, you may have shawdows on the front of the trains in the evening if photographing southwards. You have plenty of warning of trains approaching, the northern side of the bridge is on a straight so you can see trains approaching from a considerable distance, and on the southern side of the bridge is a number of foot crossings that trains will whistle at, which can be heard from the station.
