Easiest access is via the A34 exiting at the Kennington exit and following directions of the A4144 and Oxford City Centre. Once on this road, on the left you should see a number of little roads full of Victorian terraces. Drive down any one of these roads, and find parking, see below.

Oxford is notorious for it’s parking, but a number of roads near this location are free parking, and finding a place isn’t usually a problem. Watch out for “Permit Parking” zones which are for residents only. The roads to the south of Vicarage Road aren’t “Permit Parking”, where as this road and those to the north are. Another alternative is to park in the Rebridge Park and Ride and walk to the location.
Once you’ve found parking, head for Wytham Street or Vicarage Road on foot and you’ll see access to the bridge (and park and footpath to Oxford City Centre.)

There are numerous buses serving Abingdon Road from both the city centre and Redbridge Park and Ride. More information can be found Oxford Bus.

Oxford city centre is around a half hour walk, but there are numerous buses along the Abingdon road taking you into the centre. There are also local shops along this road as well.

As the line is roughly north-west by south-east, this location is better in the afternoon where you can get a more traditional three-quarters view of southbound trains. Getting the right side for the sun in the morning can be troublesome due to the tight nature of the line and trees. In the summer northbound evening views should be possible.
For wagon modellers there are ample opportunity to get overhead detail shots of the many varying infrastructure wagons that are typically found in the yard.
