I'm thinking of going up to Clapham Junction on Sunday for the first time to take some photos. I guess I should get quite a few classes coming through. Will I see the new Overground 378s? Any hints and tips on photing here would be good please and if anyone has taken pics here then it would good to see them.

Unless your there before 06:50 then no you wont see a class 378 unless the
2nd class 378 to enter service is put on the Clapham JCT - Willesdon JCT services i suspect both the class 378's will be on the Richmond - Stratford services apart from the 06:50 Clapham Junction - Stratford service

I would suggest the east ends of platforms 9 (SWT) and 11 (Southern) for the best shots, although it may depend on what the limitations of your camera are. I took the following images at Clapham last December:

Matt, thanks for the advice. Had a look at your photos - really good, if mine are half as good I shall be pleased. I am using a Nikon D60 with Nikon 18-55 with the option of a Nikon 55-200.

Some of mine were taken with a Canon 100-400L so your reach will be a little more limited than some of my images would suggest.
