RMweb Gold 08221 Posted June 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2013 Does anyone know any good photo spots near Madeley in Staffordshire please. Fancy popping out from work for an hour to see 5043 and 46233 on their light engine moves on Friday ready for a weekend railtour! Thanks in advance.

Andy Y Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi Steve, It's not great for snaps but you get a reasonable view south from the old station bridge - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=madeley+crewe&hl=en&ll=52.992241,-2.339757&spn=0.002774,0.008256&sll=53.415236,-1.399255&sspn=0.021972,0.066047&t=h&hnear=Madeley,+Staffordshire,+United+Kingdom&z=18&layer=c&cbll=52.992241,-2.339757&panoid=wG3mb1G7FXNrGaxyvbK4-g&cbp=12,131.53,,0,-5.61, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2013 Id suggest going a bit futher south on the A51 by about 4 miles to stableford. where the A51 crosses over the wcml take a left (if coming from nantwich direction) i think its signposted whitmore, there is somewhere to park next to the line and you can see trains coming and going round the curve to the north Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 08221 Posted June 13, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi Jim, thanks for taking the time to reply. I know roughly where you mean as we went along the A51 a few days ago on our way to Hack Green Bunker. Don't think I'll have time to get that far tomorrow as I am going out on an extended lunch, but will definitely give it a try in the future when I have more time and there is steam about Thanks again!

cambriancoaster Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi You might like to see this photo I took from the bridge at Madeley in December, 1957 before the WCML was electrified. The platforms from the old Madeley station were then still in situ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
