Trivia. What daft place have you done trainspotting?

[Ken H]

Just been inpatient in Airedale hospital (its OK, they fixed me yesterday) for a few days. I got a 'window bed'
For non locals, thats next to the Leeds - Skipton railway line. Close enough to identify class but not close enough to read numbers.

So i saw 333s and 321s, the 158's on the Carlisles and 150s and 142s on the lancasters.

And quite a few 66 hauled freights.

quite nice to watch while I was bored.

Any other unusual places where you have watched trains?

Old Trafford Cricket Ground.
Blackpool FC Football Ground (before Blackpool Central closed)
Former ground of St. Helens Town FC (near St, Helens Junction)

Certain wards at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge get a decent railway view.

Prior to building work (many years ago), it was possible from the Rosie Maternity Hospital there. I'm told the former hourly Royston DMU shuttle made a useful way of counting the hours of labour for the trainspotting Dad-to-be...

Lancaster City's The Giant Axe, which must be one of the best football grounds for spotting.

I observed a TGV once from the flight deck of a Boeing 767 on finals into Charles de Gaulle airport...

( Obviously pre- 9/11 when that was still allowed! )
