Heading to Toton

[coxy]

Hi,

I'm planning a trip to Toton Bank on Easter Friday to try and spot as many class 60 locos as I can.

Having never been there before, I was wondering if any forum members have advice on what can be seen from the bank, and if binoculars are needed ?

Many thanks.

You'll see a lot, but not everything. Some loco's will be in the shed or parked in rows behind other rows. You'll definitely need a good pair of bins. Be prepared to take your time walking along the bank, scanning backwards and forwards - the change in height/angle means you can see some locos from one position but not another. If it's been raining, you'll need wellies or equivalent. If it's sunny, take some sun cream - it's a right sun trap on the bank.

It's also worthwhile walking along the side of the A52 dual carriageway. You get a head on view of the depot and can even see some of the locos inside if they've got the doors open.

Thanks for the feedback, looking forward to seeing the depot that full this Friday !!!
