Full details of how to obtain a Lineside Photography Pass including details of the required Personal Track Safety course and examination, are found on the official WSR website.

Please do not venture onto the lineside without the required training, appropriate personal protection equipment and valid permits.

Of course, many a great picture can be taken from public areas such as platforms where a Lineside Photography Permit is not necessary.
