A nature reserve maybe?Think I've found the path you are referring to looking on Google Maps and I may be wrong but it looks like it may be possible to get photos there, although Google Streetview for that area hasn't been updated since 2010 so it may be different now.
You should be able to get your lens through though.
Sure there is a footbridge too. Not sure if it is enclosed/covered.
These are to the north of the old station from memory.
I reckon the only way you can get better at something is by giving it a go and practicing with your shutter speeds.
I think for trying to get a photo of that I may do the boring option just to ensure I can get myself a photo as I don't have long to get a photo of this especially as I have a few things on between now and Christmas, so I want to make sure I get a photo if possible as knowing me if I did the different shot I'd screw the shot up. I will try and be more adventurous with rail photos when I'm just snapping trains where there isn't nothing much of significance where it won't matter if I fail to snap it.
