London 04 March

[165009]

I'll be in London for a few hours mid-late afternoon this Saturday. Where's the best place to go to log as much as possible please?

Excluding SWR and GWR so not Clapham/ Waterloo/ Paddington etc

Thanks

Stratford?

Blackfriars for a bit of Shelter, if you need 700s. Otherwise London Bridge for South Eastern units 375s, 376s, 465s, 466s & 707s. Plus 700s but missing more RLUs.

Thanks, can you see everything from one platform at both of these? I note that SE, SN, C2C, TL, LO and GE don't show unit numbers on RealTimeTrains which makes things trickier

Blackfriars buffer/barrier end of platform 2&3 can see everything and there are seats and it is sheltered but a bit draughty

London Bridge country end of the through platforms (1-9) you can see all the SE stuff. But its hard to see the trains using the terminating platforms (10 upwards) which rules out the Southern trains. Binoculars will get you some ends. But its the best place for South Eastern with a reasonable amount of TSGN thrown in as extra.
