I wanted to go and take some photos from the top of the Wicker arches, and have a look around the old Victoria station.

Does anyone know how to get up there?

I image you must be able to get onto the train line at some point and walk along it to the arches ?

I know how to get up to Victoria, and the Wicker Arches are a short walk along the track.

PM me for more info....unless you are an axe murderer in which case dont bother.....

Also, there used to be a station at Heeley, I'm going to have a look for that.

Thanks for the advice Avalon.
