From the M27, Junction 3:
Head south along the M271 following the signs for Southampton docks. When you reach the end of the road, a roundabout go under the by-pass and join it at the junction. There are lots of traffic and speed cameras in the area so be warned. This by pass crosses over the estuary, immediately, after the bridge take the off ramp and go under the road (this bridge is the location) and once the road is joined again turn round and come back to the by pass. Just before the roads join there is a left turn into a small, gravel, car park.

The car park is a small off road gravel area, used by bird watchers and walkers. From the location you should be able to see your car.

The location is a 2 minute walk from Totton Station.

Nothing in the immediate area. There is a large Asda on Maynard Road which is a minute or two walk back in the direction of Totton station.

The line curves round from Redbridge and comes over the estuary, it is quite a long shot so a telephoto lens is best to capture trains on the bridges. The angle of the line will better suit shots after midday as the sun will come round to the front of the train till late afternoon. Line speed is reasonably slow (50mph).You are standing next to a by pass so traffic noise will be very noticeable on videos.
