I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Getting shots of the Great Central Railway is tricky because a lot of it is either urban (so difficult to get far enough away) or in wooded cuttings. However there are a few bridges which allow access and a good view of the track. Good if you want to practice tracking moving objects.
Swithland Sidings has a lot of interesting things to shoot, but strictly speaking you’ll need a spotter because the TOAL spot is hemmed in by trees. Once above the trees. from the road bridge the line heads North across Swithland Reservoir – with good atmospheric shots - and South past the sidings towards Rothley (keep clear of the power pylons).
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 19/07/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
