Toton is on the western outskirts of Nottingham. From junction 25 of the M1, take the A52 towards Nottingham. Continue to the first roundabout passing over the main line with Toton off to your right. At the roundabout turn right on the B6003 to Long Eaton, and after about one mile, turn right at the lights into Banks Road. Follow this road through the housing estate until it ends at a bus turning circle/roundabout. Park here, and walk off to the left through the vegetation until you emerge on top of a high bank with Toton Training Compound spread out in front of you and Toton depot to your right. Walk along the bank to the north to view all of the depot. Binoculars required.

In order to view the other side of the Training Compound, return to the traffic lights at the start of Banks Road and turn right onto the B6003. At the T-junction, turn right onto the A6005. Keep straight on this road into Long Eaton, and after the second roundabout, turn right by the church into College Street. After about half-a-mile, turn right into Willoughby Avenue and park at the end of the road. Take the marked footpath from the end of the road over a canal bridge then over another small narrow footbridge, to view the back of the depot and Training Compound.
