From Rugby, head out through Newbold on the B4112 and head toward Harborough Magna. As you approach the village, take a left-hand turn to Easenhall. look out for the 'Golden Lion' on the right. Carry on through and out of the village, and you will soon cross the railway as the road bears left. You will soon come across 'Ben' Town Thornes on the right. From these grounds there is a public footpath which takes you to the location.
On the main road, there is room to park a car by the farm entrance opposite the exit from Townthornes. Alternatively you can park in the grounds, but do be aware that it is one-way traffic!
De Courcey service 585 operates every 30 minutes from Rugby Town Centre to Coventry Railway Station via Brinklow village. Certain journeys
(approx every 2 hours) also serve Easenhall Village and run along the road between there and Brinklow.
There is the Golden Lion pub in the village.
Early summer shots are best at this location before line-side growth becomes too much.
Northbound shots taken from the footbridge steps are what we come here for.
Southbound shots are possible, but are ruined by OLE gantries.
Note from the editor 02nd Nov 2007:
At some stage, the author to this location lost a tie-pin. It is a sliver bar, with a 'toy-like' train on it. It is more of sentimental value, as it was a present from his wife a few years ago. If any-one does happen to go to this location, and if by an even smaller chance you stumble across said tie-pin, could you please pick it up and contact us.
