Whilst mainly featuring railways in and around St. Helens, there isn't a lot of variety nowadays, so we need to venture further to see something different.

 SITE NOTICE.

We expect to move to a broadband internet connection fairly soon, which may mean a change of web address. If you find this site vanishes, please check for messages about our new location on newsgroup  uk.railway   or   uk.transport.buses.

The site aim is to provide a photographic record of current and past rail operations in this area, and also to assist site visitors to select locations where they might want to take their own photographs. There are also a number of special feature pages, with hopefully at least one new page each month. These can feature rail operations anywhere in U.K. or parts of Europe. I hope you enjoy your visit to this site.

For historical information, one page shows a 1950's rail map of the area, and there are schematic diagrams of some local railways.

All photographs are copyright of Bevan Price. I have no objection if anyone wants to make ONE printed copy of any photograph for personal use only, but note that there is significant loss of quality during the file compression procedure before the photos are displayed on the website. Most photographs have been reduced to a file size of about 20 kbytes to minimise download times. Photographs may not be used on other web sites without permission.
