I don't really do linesiding myself, but this site: http://www.trainspots.co.uk might give you a few ideas.

Colton Junction, about thirteen miles up the line towards York from Temple Hirst Jcn, is the popular favourite for photography and spotting.

Just South of T Hirst Jcn the ECML passes over the Wakefield - Goole line.
This usually provides the chance of a train passing over a freight of some description.

Another one is a little bit south of Temple Hirst Jn is Shaftholme/Joan Croft Junction which has a variety of lines merging and joining. You have the ECML, Shaftholme(North Doncaster) Flyover, Askern Branch Line, Stainforth to Skellow Line.
