Amenities
There is a small newsagents shop to the South side of the bridge.
The line is NE-SW so the light is better looking towards Norwood Junction, to the Depot side there are some signal gantries, you can get a good view of the depot. The bridge sides are about 5'6" high, so you may need a small box to stand on, I'm 6' and can just manage to see though the camera ok. Videographers beware as the road traffic will cause you trouble. The footpaths are quiet tight so large step ladders and tripods may cause the locals to moan.
