Road directions
Follow the road signs for the city centre, and in particular to Morrisons, or Eastgate. Once you have parked in either car park, head out to the railway station. At the station, walk along the buffer stops, and follow the signs for the bus station. Head out into the car park, and then onto the road. Turn right, and pass the car rental place on your right, and the Royal Mail building on your left. Follow the path through the subway, and then continue straight ahead onto the terraced street. Walk to the end of the street, and then, on your left, you will see a traffic island. Cross over it, and then head up the small road, and the road bridge is at the corner. The rail bridge is to your right. The road is called Grant Street.
Parking
Inverness railway station has a car park which is a pay & display located to the rear of the station. There are various Car Parks in the City Centre such as the Eastgate Centre, Safeways and the Station Car Park which is round behind the Bus Station. Follow signs for Bus Station and it is on your right hand side.
Public transport
This is right near the city centre, and so is within walking distance from Inverness bus and train stations. Stagecoach route 12 does run on the road bridge from where figure 1 was taken. For times of trains and buses, visit either: First Scotrail - For railway information Stagecoach Bus Citylink - Bus Rapsons - Local bus information
Amenities
There is a corner shop on the opposite bank. As you head to the location, you pass a pub. Inverness city centre is not far away.
Pictures can be obtained at either end of the road bridge, but avoid using tripod equipment as the pavements are narrow, and the road is busy. The traffic noise will ruin any videos. The speed limit is 30mph over the bridge, but trains coming into Inverness will be going slow, ready to terminate. For taking pictures, best to stand at the end of the road bridge, as the girders and fencing on the road bridge can ruin any shot, and the pavements are narrow. Figure one was taken at the city end of the bridge.
