There is some bridges in Darlington that I could maybe use but may not be the best for getting photos from. Finding any other spots may be tricky, may try Thornaby Station.
go to the management centre, past the metro towards the car park (past the pub and Costa). Ring the buzzer at the door, the person at the desk will ask you what you want to do, "take photos of the trains", and then they'll ask for your name (this is just for an evacuation, so they can check all the visitors are present). They'll issue you with a ticket which you show to the person at the gates, once you've finished you return the ticket to the office.
