Scenic Rail Winter
Britain's railways can be picture-perfect at any time of the year, but we think there is something magical about them glistening in winter.
So, to celebrate this year's Winter Solstice, we've collated some of our favourite scenic railway photographs taken over the years. A big thank you to our followers on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram that have shared their beautiful winter photos with us, some are included below.
Take some time out, get cosy and relax with a warm drink as you enjoy browsing these chilly, but charming, photographs of scenic railways in winter.
And don't forget to follow us on social media for more stunning scenic rail photography throughout the seasons. We always love to see photos of your rail adventures, so be sure to share them with us on our Twitter, Facebook & Instagram pages.
