Tornado through Bristol Parkway on Saturday

I note Tornado will be passing through on Saturday, en route from Paddington to Shrewsbury, taking on water there at 10.53. I'm not at all familiar with the layout at Parkway, is there an opportunity to take photos when it's getting water, or is this well away from the platforms?

They state Bristol parkway but could well be the down loop or reception. You might see it from the approach rd into parkway station. You wont see too much from the incline that leads up to stok gifford yard as freightliner wagons and locos may block the view.

Thanks. In the end I decided to watch and film it going through Patchway Station. I returned a few hours later to record it returning - much less spectacular as it was obviously slowing down.
