Finally got round to visiting this place with Grea after months of promising we'd make the effort. Bit awkward at first, went trackside via the Hollywood sign route but there were EWS workmen on site among the trains. There were cars in and out too so we waited for them to bugger off but we were nearly ready for sacking it all off as a bad job. Clock was ticking, people still milling about, it started to rain and then there's the live lines which go round the 'floodlit area'.
Finally, with some patience and some nifty spotting with the help of some 10x urbexvision binos we found another way, which was far safer and stealthy than the obvious one.
Although it is closed it is still operating and EWS staff are still on site.
