Terms and conditions for Travel by Train competition
We’d love to see your photos of the railway and experiences travelling by train, whether you’re a regular commuter, a day tripper or live near the railway.
That’s why we’ve created the #TravelByTrain social media competition. It’s chance for us to celebrate and share your fantastic content with everyone. We’ll choose one winning photo each month to feature as our header photo on all our social media channels. So get snapping!

Entry:
- Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn entry only.

We will choose one winning photo each month to feature as our header photo on all our social media channels.
- We will frequently share and celebrate some of the content that you tag us in (when also using the hashtag #TravelByTrain), even if you’re not chosen as a winner.
- To be in with the chance for your photo to feature as our header image, please bear in mind that we will need to be able to crop the image to approx 1500 x 500 pixels in landscape orientation.
- This is an ongoing competition therefore you can enter whenever you want, just keep your eye out to see if your image has been chosen to feature as our header.
Rules:
- All photos entered must include a location or description otherwise we will be unable to consider these as valid entries.
- Photos must be your own to submit and by doing so, you agree for Network Rail to use these images without compensation, restriction on use or liability.
- Photos submitted with watermarks, logos or evidence of excessive post production are ineligible for the competition.
- Entrants acknowledge that by entering the competition they are uploading a photo onto publicly available social media sites and other users of these sites will be able to see their photo. By submitting any photo, entrants confirm that they have the permission of any people featured in the photo to enter that photo. Any picture uploaded that we consider to be unsuitable will not be considered to be a valid entry and we won’t share it on our channels.
- Safety first– All photographs must be taken from areas which are safely accessible by members of the public. Never trespass and always comply with relevant safety notices. Flash photography is not allowed – it can distract train drivers and train dispatch staff. For more information please visit the following pages:
