From Petts Wood station, bear left down Woodland Way. This leads into a built up housing area. You will shortly notice Manor Way on your right. Keep going. You should then notice Silverdale Road to your right. Ignore this, and keep going and the road should bear to the right. Look out for 'Little Thrift' on the left, and pull in here. There is a public footpath on your left which takes you to the southern bridge, and a path on your right which takes you to the northern bridges.
Park considerately in the nearby streets.
There is also a large car-park at the end of Tent Peg Lane' which is just off 'Crest View Drive'
There are several options here, with many different angles to choose from to suit different sun positions throughout the day. However, trees can be troublesome at the northern bridges. The best shooting spot is from the southern bridge. Here, you can get good shots of southbound trains up unto the afternoon, and in the summer, good northbound shots can be had in the evenings.
The best bridge, referred to as the 'southern bridge' in the text has now been turned into a giant cage, and as a result, taking photos from the bridge that spans the lines is an almost impossible task.
