Leave your car by the gate at the end of Lower Farm Road, there are no people around and you can see your car from the bridge.

Photographic notes
You can shoot both directions and northbound trains look especially good in the afternoons.
The nearby A6 'Paula Radcliffe Way' can produce a little noise when filming but traffic is really light and it should not spoil any filming.
A high vertical bar fencing now obscures the view looking North (fig 1), and trying to video through the gaps isn't easy as the fencing is mounted away from the edge of the road..
The view south, currently, remains as per fig 1.
