Hi Mark
It's been a long time since I was at Toton. From what I remember there's a lane which runs from the main road alongside the line on the opposite side of the line to the depot. At the end of the lane is a large grass bank which gives a good view across the depot yard. It may well have been redeveloped by now of course! You're certainly right about access to the depot - no chance!
I've done many days on Carlisle but never an overnight. Daytime can be quite variable - depends on the level of coal traffic to/ from Hunterston. Will also get the DRS class 37s on the two passenger diagrams from carlisle to Preston/Barrow. Steam should also be around on Tuesday (from York) and Wednesday (from Lancaster).
Don't know if this helps but have a good trip
