Mill Stream Lane, Burton

We go back to 2004, to Mill Stream Lane, Burton. It is located north of Burton, off the road into Burton just after the interchange with the A38 at Claymills. The lane is not made up and is a bit hairy in places – potholes like you’ve never seen before! But the reward when you get to the railway is worth it. There is a footbridge with fine views of the line in both directions. An added bonus is the crossing at Claymills which provides notification of approaching trains. A good train watching place.

Back then we had central trains and Virgin providing the passenger services and EWS and Freighliner on freight.
