Stop, Look, Listen

We understand the WSR Plc has completed its review of its policy on Lineside Photography passes and at this point in time we recommend contacting the WSR Plc directly.

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 permit is not necessary. See below...

Photospots

There are over 100 suggested public area locations with photo, coordinates, sat nav data and gradients on the Photospots webpage.
