From the M6, Junction 13:
Head north along the A449 towards Stafford. The road crosses the Stafford to Birmingham line as it enters the start of the built up area. After another mile or so, the road crosses the main line. Take the next road on the right and park towards the end of this residential road.
Turn right at the end towards the railway, taking the footpath on the left alongside it to the footbridge.

As mentioned above, park on the residential roads near to the location.

From Stafford Station, turn right outside to the traffic lights. Turn left, and take the first road on the right after passing Tesco's. Follow this road, passing the 'Bear and Pheasant' Pub, to it's end, and turn right onto the main road - there is a bright yellow pub, 'The Telegraph Inn', on the right. Arriva service 8 operates along this road from Stafford Town Centre to Moss Pit (another Trainspot). Turn left before the road crosses the railway and keep alongside the railway on the road, then on a footpath, until you reach the footbridge.

There are no amenities close to the bridge. There are several pubs in the Stafford area. out of the two already mentioned, the Bear and Pheasant is the better, though the 'Titanic' outside Stafford Station is a good real ale pub. There is an Off-Licence on the main road near the Telegraph Inn.

The light is best from mid-morning for southbound trains through to early evening for northbound ones. The curve of the line is the wrong way for ideal photos, but it does mean that mid-afternoon, the light is right for trains in both directions. Only trains on the Down Slow are slightly constricted for photographing.
