Road directions
A9 to Aviemore, then follow the signs to the ski centre or Loch Morlich. Follow the road to the end, and you're there.
Parking
Several car parks. The top car park is the best, as it's right at the Day Lodge/bottom station. It fills up early on skiing days though, but there is a shuttle bus between the Lodge and the other ones. All are signposted.
Amenities
Top and bottom stations have restaurants, but sky high prices for eating at altitude!
Accommodation
Speyside is a tourist area. SYHA hostels at Aviemore and Glenmore/Loch Morlich. Tons of hotels, campsites, chalets around, too.
Best location is anywhere on the mountain side where you can see the line, as it's raised up. The bottom station is covered, so not the best. Trains enter the top station via a tunnel, so that's that out too! Middle station is just next to the passing loop, so is probably the best place to photograph. Sticking west of the station allows you to be higher up, as the ground slopes away a lot on the other side. Also, as you can see out the front and rear of the cars, this can be a good location too!
