Trainspotting highly commended image

This is another highly commended photograph from our Trainspotting photo competition that will be featured in our exhibition that we will be hosting in-gallery later on in the year. This was photographed by Flickr member R J D Willock for our People in railway category. Here is an additional caption that Richard has sent us:

Rain stops play – railway photography is not all about capturing locos be it steam or diesel/electric but recording the subtler elements of trains and the people associated with this mode of travel. Despite a north Atlantic squall buffeting a railway coach this well observed image, highlights the cosiness and warmth that is afforded traveling by rail.
