Following on from my search for unused or quiet stations, does anyone
know where I can access tracks, preferably legally and not with a
billion volts flowing through them, likewise an absence of
photographer-squishing-trains would be nice.
somewhere easyish to get to around london and not too overgrown.

any thoughts on this?

Depends how far from London and whether they must be standard gauge?

Possibilities might include:

- where rights of way cross the the Watercress line (Alton - New
Alresford) on a non-running day.
- Chinnor & Princess Risborough as above.
- The industrial railways around Queensborough, Isle of Sheppy.
- the Ruislip Lido Railway (narrow-gauge).
- Epping and Ongar ?
- Tenterden and East Sussex?
- Bluebell?

What do you want to do? If you just want to stand on a footpath
crossing for a few seconds to take photos then:
- the Southall - Brentford branch?
- north of Aylesbury?
- do the Marlow and Henley branches have Sunday services?

You could try for permission to use the former North Pole depot!

Isn't it obvious from his URLs that he wants to tie a woman to the tracks
and then take photos of her?

Not-overgrown but safe is a difficult combination. I think your best bet is
on Tramlink when there is engineering work, or on a Sunday morning, when the
trams don't start till 7am or so. Accessing the tracks off a public road at
any stop should be easy enough. The leccy is overhead, and I don't think
there is any voltage in the tracks at all. Any unexpected tram, unlike a
train, will be able to stop in a very short distance in the worst case
scenario. That's if you want it to stop...

it doesn't have to be a standard guage but it has to look the part so
no odd narrow guages or it just won't look right.

my intended use involves an unfortunate young lady doing something
artistic and no, I'll not be tying her to the tracks a-la classic
damsel-in-distress.

I'm in east london and I don't want to have to walk too far from a
station so as close to me and/or a station as possible would be ideal.
my location kit is a bit heavy.

footpath crossings would work.

I forgot to mention that only a small part of Tramlink (in Croydon town
Centre) looks like a traditional tramline with grooved track in a road. The
other 90% or so looks like a conventional railway, until the tram comes
along anyway. You can see it here
http://www.croydon-tramlink.co.uk/pi...r/beckee.shtml The only
difference is that the platforms are lower than a standard British railway.

tram locations could work fine, I just need the linier lines of the
train(like) tracks and no danger to be standing on them or walking
around them. I won't be tying her to them though the possibilities in
fee negotiation are attractive.

If you use the Silvertown suggestion from the previous thread you
could kill both birds with one stone.

Assuming, of course, they've turned the juice rail off by now...
