Due to the large embankment sides and closed in nature of the location this is best for southbound shots during the middle part of the day when the sun is to the south. Early mornings or dull days will give results of the south facing shot, but there is little warning of approaching trains. For the shot of northbound trains you will have to walk off the pedestrian bridge and cross Welford Road. Then to see over the bridge parapet you will need steps as the sides are about 7 foot high and about 2 foot wide.
