need tracks and platform not too overgrown.

Platform "0" at Southall. It's the disused face of the island platform
that includes Platform 1 on the down main Great Western. As trains pass
Platform 1 at 125 mph, it's not quiet sound-wise, but there are normally
no passengers on that island at any time of day or night as no trains
stop there. Platform 0 has the occasional freight train; the track is
in good condition and the platform mostly so. If you're interested, I
can send you some photos I took about a year ago.

that could be ideal, fast trains passing are no problem and could
actually be a bonus. Photos would be cool, email is markvarley at

For lots of background activity, but minimal direct interference,
there's always platform 1 at Clapham Junction (disused, island with
platform 2 with a short train every half hour, many busy platforms
beyond).

Now I think of it, would there be many people waiting at platforms 16
and 17 after a certain hour? Could be better.

Or if you don't mind going a bit further out, go to Bletchley on a
Sunday and walk over to Fenny Stratford, which has no Sunday service
and therefore will be deserted. Bedford St John's would also work,
though it's an utter dive in comparison.
