how about Nottingham? If you go on to platforms 1/3, there's a little gap shoved under the centre bridge where the luggage trolleys are, use a trolley as a bed ;) and pumpkin cafe is just behind it :lol:

You can see Moor Street station and trains heading into New Street (Birmingham) from my kitchen!

From my old flat in Leeds you could see everything coming into Leeds from the west. I miss the late night sound of Valentas arriving!

how about Netherfield? It's got a smashed shelter, a boring platform covered in smashed glass, no seats, a talking information point to keep you entertained, and I live right near by so if you get bored or terrorised, you can call me up and I'll let you stay in either the shed or the pond :lol:;)

The box dont work !/Didnt the other morning when i was waitin for the first grantham. Had to find some other entertainment for 30 mins :lol:

Fortunately we can't hear the trains from our flat!

Tesco Extra Stockport is quite busy at night. Open 24 hours Mon - Fri too.

Where is that? I know where the one is in Handforth Dean, not spotted one in Stockport though?

As for somewhere busy, I would like to put forward (a sensible suggestion!) Water Orton, if you aren't too fussed at not getting photos. Could get some decent videos, but nothing stops, so no photos.

Right next to the M60. On opposite side of the Motorway from PC World.

Within 20 mins I saw 3 freights and 7 trains at St Albans today. Though I wouldn't want to hang around SAC all day, unless you want to see 319s all day!
