From the A4 between Reading and Maidenhead.
The turning into Bottle Lane is between the village of Knowl Hill and the roundabout for Burchetts Green. The road is signposted to Shottesbrook.

There is parking by the bridge on the verge and in field gates. You are right by the bridge and there is no problem with the Farmer (Providing you move the car for him!)

Unfortunately, none to this location.

There are several local public houses in White Waltham village, Knowl Hill and Littlewick Green.

January 2018 Appeal:
The Great Western Electrification continues expanding towards the south-west making most of the GWML shots west of Ealing on the site currently out of date. Please send in your new images of the old locations with the overhead mast and wires in place so people can see how the locations have changed.

The light is good from 0900 - until the sun crosses the line at around 1600. Then it becomes problematic. Up main and relief good for all types of photography. Down lines need telephoto lens due adjacent signal gantry.
Would be very good for video due to the dead straight track for a good way in each direction.. There is a local airfield at White Waltham which can sometimes get noisy with light aircraft and helicopters coming and going.

This location re-opened in April 2012 after the bridge had been raised and re-built for the GWML electrification. There is a now a narrow pavement on either side and brick walls about 5ft high. Would recommend a small step ladder or similar equipment. The combination of the raised bridge and higher sides results in shots being taken 3-4ft higher than in the past. This makes the London side easier as the signal gantry can be overcome with a modest degree of telephoto.
