The actual station does not offer an inspiring shot. But for photographing southbound workings in the late afternoon/evening the bridge offers and excellent view. Stand on the right hand side of the line looking south stood on top the embankment alongside the road. You will capture a nice shot of a train approaching the station with the picturesque countryside behind the train.
