Photographic notes
The main attraction of this location is head-on shots of trains sweeping round tight curves.Palisade fencing, albeit green, has been erected along the top of the bank, whilst not too intrusive this may put some off for this shot. This will also mean that steps will be required at this location to get a view over the fence.
NB Northbound trains arrive from under the M6 without warning.
The noise from the nearby M6 is incessant, this also prevents you from hearing northbound trains.
