From the M6, junction 37:
Take the A684 east through Sedburgh towards Hawes. After passing under the railway at Garsdale take the first left at the Moorcock Public House onto the B6259 towards Kirby Stephen. There is a private track/public footpath on the left leading up to the old railway houses at the crossing after about half a mile.

There is room at the bottom of the drive for two or three cars. Do not drive up the lane as parking at the top is only for the house-owners.

Garsdale station is 2-3 miles away.

The nearest toilets are on Garsdale station. The Moorcock Public House is open all day.

The Moorcock Public House does have Bed and Breakfast accommodation.

North West Gen

The sun is best in the afternoon for north-bound trains, though until late afternoon the front will be in shade. Southbound shots are possible but due to the slight cutting north of the crossing's footbridge these tend to be in shade. Warning for trains from the north is usually Garsdale's distant signal clearing. Northbound trains can be heard crossing Dandry Mire Viaduct at Garsdale if the wind is in the right direction. There are public footpaths crossing the field in front and behind the cottages and good shots can be taken from either or indeed from the 'patio' area in front of the houses.
