Dist:0.1km<br/>Looking North along the Bristol to Birmingham main line. A rapidly disappearing Virgin Voyager can just be seen in the distance, heading North. The railway line is the boundary between Northway (housing) estate, on the left and farmland, on the right.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The housing estate at Northway can be seen in the near distance with the M5 motorway passing by, on the left are some of the industrial units that have mushroomed around junction 9 of the motorway. The village of Twyning, which is quite a large village but looks insignificant is in the centre. In the distance the Malvern Hills can be seen on the left and further away near the horizon to the right of centre are the Abberley Hills.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The eastern access to Northway level crossing is via two 90-degree bends on a single-track lane. Sign placement is "creative"! Large vehicles would have some difficulty negotiating the bends, let alone the level crossing.

Dist:0.4km<br/>View southward from Northway level-crossing, on the ex-Midland Bristol - Birmingham main line. The train - of about 18 coaches - needed a Stanier 8F 2-8-0 (No. 48223) to handle it. The reporting number M861 on the smokebox indicates a relief holiday express, however.
