Photographic notes
Not the most useful of spots, but sometimes it`s nice to add a little variety to your locations! This location is likely to be too noisy for video footage.
The best shots of Eastbound trains would have to be taken in the morning, although on a 'slightly' dull day, an interesting shot can be had of eastbound trains from the wrong side of the line which would feature Richborough power station in the background.
