Weardale Railway, Bishop Auckland, County Durham,

Fancy the opportunity to photograph some unique and scenic locations on Weardale Railway?

All aboard for a unique and unusual experience on the Weardale Railway, designed specifically for photographers. This guided photographic charter offers the chance to capture some of the most scenic and distinctive locations along the line. The day begins at Stanhope Station with a welcome, a briefing, and a safety talk before boarding a train with large windows offering excellent panoramic views of the dale. The experience lasts around four hours and includes travel to some of the most photogenic sections of the railway, combining natural scenery with Weardale's industrial heritage. At selected locations, the train will stop to allow participants to alight safely and take photographs from trackside. There are six planned stops along the route. A reasonable level of fitness is required, as participants will be getting on and off the train, although those who prefer to remain on board will still have opportunities to take photographs with guidance from the team. This experience is suitable for both budding and experienced photographers and offers access and viewpoints not normally available to the public.
