Ideas, please. My son (aged 11) likes nothing better than videoing trains, especially HSTs. But with recent levels of Covid cases in Nottingham, I would prefer not to let him hang about the station and its crowds.
So do you know places I could take him on Saturdays and half term, where he could get a good view of trains and some good video shots from the safety of a car? Ideally a quiet spot where we would be able to see the tracks and trains approaching from a distance, and if he wanted to get out and go up to the fence I could still keep an eye on him.
I know of the following, but none are ideal. Other suggestions up to, say, 30-40 miles away would be appreciated:

- Carpark beyond the level crossing leading to Attenborough Nature Reserve
- Top deck of the station carpark at Tamworth
- Railway access gate on Lawrence Way Nottm NG7 1GE
- Lidl Car Park, Midland Way Nottm NG7 3NY
- ....?
