Spellbinding shot by Bridgend photographer makes 2024 Great Western Railway Calendar
A spellbinding shot by Bridgend photographer Harry Chatham features in the 2024 Great Western Railway Calendar.
Harry, who developed an interest in railway photography in 2020, was at Cardiff Central Station to capture the breath-taking image.
He said: “I’ve always been interested in railways but started doing railway photography back in Covid to get out of the house a bit more where allowed. I’ve continued ever since, trying and improving new skills.
“This particular shot is taken from Platform 4 at Cardiff Central and shows a stationary GWR Intercity Express Train on its way to London, waiting for the Transport for Wales 170 with the light trails to clear the block ahead.”
From Cornwall to the Cotswolds, and London to South Wales, the 2024 Great Western Railway Calendar inspires new adventures as it captures the region in all its glory.
Whether you’re captivated by the special south-west events included each month, or enchanted by our beautiful destinations, this calendar will make you want to board a train and start your next exciting journey.
GWR Sales and Marketing Director, Amanda Burns, said:
“Our 2024 Great Western Railway Calendar features some truly breath-taking images and we’re sure it will become a wanted item on many people’s Christmas lists.
“As well as the stunning photography, we’ve included dates for some of the biggest events across the network, ensuring you’ve got time to start planning some exciting days out – taking a GWR train there and back, of course!”
