Spotting
Hi everyone. My first post here. I've recently bought a van converted campervan as my autistic son loves campervan and trains. So.... anyone know where I can park up near tracks and watch or record trains? I'm in central Scotland but have been to various locations from Glasgow to York. Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance. |
Hello, welcome to the forum.
I'm not too familiar with Scotland or even North of England but when I last visited Scotland in 2012, I remember that the A86 road into Newtonmore (just south of Aviemore) runs alongside the railway. Wherever you end up going, check out www.realtimetrains.co.uk to get a good idea of what you can expect to see - use the detailed search and you just have to enter the location and date. Hope this helps. Tony |
Hi, Google EARTH can be good for finding suitable locations (like lay byes etc).
The park and ride car park south of York (Askham Bar YO23 2BB) seems to have a good view of the East Coast main line, and it's free to park. (when I was last there) |
Have a look at the Railadvent web sight.
Also the Railway Touring Company web sight and there are a few others that I am sure you will find on the net. All the best...Stuart |
