Some Advice Please

Hi,

I'm looking for a suitable filming location, within a 2 to 3 hour drive from Teesside, to get a good mix of passenger and freight.

I've just been to Doncaster and Colton Junction which where great and I've got Preston planned.

Your thoughts will be much appreciated.

John

Hi there,

Have you thought about going to Carlisle at all. That is not a bad station.

Yeah, I'm a regular visitor to Carlisle, I've taken quite a few stills there.

Really good station.

Cheers

John

Cheers

Stafford is walk on, not sure about Crewe.

Stafford best platforms is 3/4.

Crewe best platform is 6 either end.

Crewe is walk on. You won't get a lot of freight though, due to the avoiding lines.

And good luck with trying to do Tyneside to Crewe in a 3 hour drive !!

Chester has gates - though they are almost always out of use !
