London Edinburgh half way sign near york,is it possible to get to?

[ben pez]

Does anyone know if its possible to get to the old sign,london/Edinburgh one just north of york?

Just to get a photo of it?

Or is it only accessed through private land or railway property?

 

Cheers

Don't know about the half way sign.

The Edinburgh 200 miles sign is quite easily accessible from a side road off the A19.

Don't know about access, but Half Way is @*!% hard to photograph from the train:

 

"Doncaster 5" is visible from a public footpath:

 

And "Edinburgh 250" is accessible from a nature reserve:

 

And while we're at it, does anyone know the approx milepost for the Mallard 126mph sign? I'm always missing it.

The Edinburgh/London signs just north of York are visible from the road bridge where Overton Road crosses the railway line.

 

Hopefully this google maps reference should work.

And here's a photo I took from the bridge in April.
