Road directions
If on the A36 (Lower Bristol Road) take the turning for Brook Road. This junction can be located by a tyre garage and a speed camera. You need to go up the hill, where you will find the station entrance off a bridge. Or if coming from a different direction find Moorland Road and follow the road (one way street) to the end where you will find the bridge.
Parking
There are a few good spots to park, with a few disabled spots in the area too. The triangle area is the best place as it is watched (in a safe way) by many of the residents. A quick walk to the bridge and you are there.
Public transport
A bus (route number 10) will take you to Moorland Road where you follow the signs for the station. A taxi can drop you by the bridge and the train services are quite common too. If cycling there are a few bike racks (no storage)
Amenities
The nearest toilet is a public toilet located about 600 - 700 metres away at the end of Moorland Road behind a Co-Op. There is a Greggs bakery, 2 cafes, a cake shop, a fish and chip shop, Sainsburys and the Co-op all in Moorland Road.
With good weather yo should be able to see both ends of the line, which is well over a mile in length. During the summer, the light allow good pictures from about 06:30 until 21:00 at the latest. If the weather is particularly sunny, some head on shots may be very back lit etc. and can only be taken from one side, facing a particular direction.
