You can shoot in any direction. Looking north you will have to be on the ramp coming from the metal footbridge, and southbound from the bottom of any platform, which offers a good view but there is a signal directly at the end of the platform.
Videoing should not be a problem from the end of platforms 2/3, plenty of room for tripods.
