Class 60s
The Toton Storage ones - Where is the best place to view them?

I'd walk from Toton Lane at the end of the tramway and view them from the hill overlooking the entire depot. From memory it';s about a 15 - 20 minute walk, depending on how fast you walk.

Class 720s
Are they all delivered and in service now?

Yes, the last one entered service about a year ago now.

Re Toton: Yep I did that walk the other year and got some decent photos. but could not ID the locos I needed.
Re 720s: Excellent thank. I must keep looking on GA when I am over there.

710 in service on London Overgound
88s usually in service on Tesco Containeers or Nuclear traffic working for DRS

Re 88s: Thanks. I Had a feeling they were but I'm not often on the WCML often
Re 710s. Thanks I wondered what services they've been seen on like the Goblin line etc.

The address for Boden Rail Rectory Junction is Mallard Road Netherfield NG4 2PE which is east of Nottingham, the aerial view on google shows roads around the depot but whether you can get close I don't know, a ten minute search on Flickr will bring up loads of photos and may show you whether they're permitted photos from inside the site, which many are, of if there is a sight line from outside
