Burton-on-Trent is easily accessible by rail and road.

It is situated on the Derby-Birmingham line, approx. 10 miles from Tamworth and Derby. Virgin and Central trains "service" this station apparently (although evidence of this "service" is sometimes lacking! ;-)

The car park is very limited, so it's first come first served! £2.50 for all day parking. Everything that passes Burton passes Tamworth, with the exception of the rare coal working along the under-used Leicester branch.

Traction ranges from 66's (of all colours - even the odd DRS 66!), 60's, 47's (fragonset), 57's, 33's, 31's, 37's plus the usual Vermin Vislegers, and Central units, Midland Mainline operate an occasional service (early morning and early (ish) evening).
