Photography On The Lickey Incline
 
Despite it being fairly close to me I have never been to the Lickey Incline and I intend rectifying that this week,for photography purposes can anyone give me a good location to catch trains hard at work up the incline

I'd say the best spot is at Vigo. From Junction 1 of the M42/A38 in Bromsgrove, take the Alcester Road (signposted Burcot and HM Prisons!). Then just passed the village of Burcot, you'll go under the railway bridge and just the other side on the right is a short track beside the railway. If you don't have transport it's about a mile and a half walk from the A38.

Many thanks Reflector might pop up there this afternoon as the footy has just been called off

If you have got an OS map you can see public footpaths along much of the incline. I have been on both sides at different times.
