Road directions
From the M1, Junction 18:
Follow signs towards Rugby on the A428. You will shortly come to a roundabout, which you go straight over. A pub will be to the right, and a UK petrol station to your left. Shortly after, you need to take the next left. Not far down this quiet road is the location.
The linked postcode CV23 8YL for this location takes you into Rugby on GoogleMaps and a TomTom satnav (although not on Streetmap). The correct nearest postcode is CV23 8YF. Ther link for TS680 Barby Nortoft (main) is correct.
Parking
You can park to the left of the bridge.
Amenities
Nothing at the location.

Photographic notes
(2014) - A new fence has been installed on the northern side of the line, part of DIRFT2, and this now obscures the view of the line from this side.
If you leave the bridge and go down hill slightly, you will see a gate. This is the entrance to Lodge Farm. You will be able to get a wide shot from here. On the opposite side if the road, there is a small gap in the hedge. Southbound shots can be taken from here.
As of Spring/Summer 2010 there is a great deal of work going on next to this location with construction work that will expand the warehouses adjacent to this site. At the moment there is a great deal of noise from all the plant on site which will effect those taking videos, but also once completed this will ruin shots taken from the east side of the line - the bridge itself may even be removed/replaced from what some locals have said!
