| My father and I have been photographing our travels around Britain's railway system for over 35 years. From our first rail tour (that's me in the cab of 47559 opposite!) to the present day. This website is now over 15 years old and represents a collection that is ever expanding in both range and technical scope.I hope you enjoy this view of the three and a half decades of our Railway photography.
