Good photo locations near the M1

[Tim R-T-C]

Hi folks,

I am driving down on Friday afternoon from Leeds to Heathrow Airport and just wondering if there are any good train photographing lineside locations or stations near to the M1.

Many thanks.

N and S of Loughborough, Sileby, Barrow upon Soar - plenty of overbridges and other locations , 4-track main line, no overhead wires in the way, fair bit of freight?

The area around Watford Gap services, where you're right up against the WCML; good for road/rail combo photos.
