LBSC123 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Sway isn't a bad place to watch them, theres a bank both ways so you get too see the locos working. Oliver cromwell was spectacular last saturday. I'm not sure how good it would be for photographng though. Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Try Google Street View - might help to scope things out, or at least rule out some spots. Although it won't help much with footbridges and locations off the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will There is also a footbridge that crosses over the south end of the platforms at Brockenhurst, from which many ptotos have been taken over the years. There are several small overbridges (for pedestrians/animals?) in the open country between Brock and Sway. Have fun... Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
