From the M3, Junction 12:
Take the A335 south towards Eastleigh town centre. After you pass the station on your left, navigate past two roundabouts and the entrance ramp to the Campbell Road bridge is on your left immediately after the second roundabout.

You can either go straight on from the second roundabout and park your car in a Pay and Display and walk to the bridge, or drive over the bridge and park in a small bit of non-Residents Only parking in the housing area of the works - you cannot see your car from here though. There are other pay car parks in the area.

Get a train to Eastleigh station, head out of the entrance, cross over the main road and turn left onto the pavement. Then walk straight on past the two roundabouts until you come to another crossing. Cross here and walk up the steps to gain access to the bridge.

Eastleigh town centre will have food outlets etc. and there is a Tesco Metro store near the location.

The best side of the bridge to stand is the side closest to the works, though you can stand in either corner. The sun is best for northbound trains in the morning until about 09:00, then it is best for southbound trains all day. Would be possible for northbound trains on summer evenings. Traffic would be a slightly annoyance for videographers.
You can use any amount of zoom and a variety of angles can be achieved from this bridge.
Given it's proximity to Southampton airport there are often low flying aircraft, that might impare video soundtracks.
