Road directions
From the M1, Junction 13: Exit, and head south on the A507. Continuing on this road (and ignoring the popular turn to Leighton Buzzard and Bedford), brings one into the village of Aspley Guise. Take the first road on the right, called Church Street, and then the next right, down Berry Lane.
Parking
There is a small amount of parking to the south of the crossing - the road to the north of the crossing is a private road. Make sure you leave enough room for the gates to be opened, and for passing traffic to get past.
Public transport
By far the easiest way to this location is to use the rail service from either Bletchley or Bedford. There are several, infrequent buses, all originating at Leighton Buzzard, including services 10 and 139 operated by Palmer and Litchfield respectively. From the station, walk south down Salford Road until you come to the entrance to Berry Lane on the right, follow this road until you come crossing. This should be a 15 to 20 minute walk.
Amenities
There are no amenities on the immediate area but there is a public house and the usual range of village shops in Aspley Guise itself.
The Bedford Bletchley line is running mainly east-west, but slightly south-east to north-west at this point. Photography is probably best in the morning for east bound traffic, and best in the afternoon for west bound traffic. The line is very straight heading in both directions - with the line fairly tree lined in both directions. A shot from the north side of the line is possible, although strictly speaking you are on a private road, so permission should be sought.
