Some Advice Please
 

Hi,

I'm looking for a suitable filming location, within a 2 to 3 hour drive from Teesside, to get a good mix of passenger and freight.

I've just been to Doncaster and Colton Junction which where great and I've got Preston planned.

Your thoughts will be much appreciated.

Hi there,

Have you thought about going to Carlisle at all. That is not a bad station.

Gareth

Yeah, I'm a regular visitor to Carlisle, I've taken quite a few stills there.

Really good station.

Cheers

John

What about Crewe and/or Stafford Statons?

Always fancied doing Crewe and Stafford. Are they walk on stations?

Cheers

John

Stafford is walk on, not sure about Crewe.

Stafford best platforms is 3/4.

Crewe best platform is 6 either end.

Many thanks

John

Crewe is walk on. You won't get a lot of freight though, due to the avoiding lines.

And good luck with trying to do Tyneside to Crewe in a 3 hour drive !!

What about chester, thats got everything and this station hasn't been modernised much apart from the concourse.

Chester has gates - though they are almost always out of use !

Have you thought about going to Tamworth?

Thats a walk on station.

Best place i think is Birmingham bound platform on the high level.
