Road directions
From the A406, North Circular westbound:
Just after the foot bridge opposite Ikea turn left into Woodheys Road and continue south into Bridge Road. You will shortly pass under the line and then turn left into Tynsdale Road and left again into Crome Road.

From the A406, North Circular eastbound:
Turn in towards Ikea but head straight across the roundabout and follow Durury Way all the way round, going straight across two roundabouts, into Grand Central Way. Grand Central way joins the A406 North Circular and you will almost immediately come to the foot bridge mentioned above.
Parking
The location is a road, and you can (at the time of writing) park in the street without restriction.
Public transport
There are a number of buses that run along Church Road.
Amenities
There are a few shops back on Church Road.
Railway Gen Group
South East Gen
Photographic notes
The line here is running pretty much north to south. You are to the east of the track so the location should be well lit up till around lunch time. Southbound workings should be on after 09:00, and northbound workings could be shot up until then during the summer months.
As mentioned there is palisade fencing, but the track level is above this and you can easily get shots with all the bogies in view. There are also semaphores along this line, but the shot of the southbound train passing the one here is marred by some large bushes.
