Photo charters
Over recent years, we’ve had the pleasure of organising and running several photo charters, working with 30742 Charters.
Each year, 30742 Charters organises a programme of events across Britain’s preserved railways, providing unique opportunities for photographers and videographers. Since hosting their first event in 1997, 30742 Charters has become one of the UK’s leading photo charter providers.
You can view all their upcoming charters by visiting Ticket Tailor.

Upcoming events:

L&Y A Class 52322 at Lakeside and Haverthwaite – April 2025
With thanks to Andy Booth and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway we’re pleased to announce dates with A Class No.52322 on the 2nd & 3rd April 2025.
The locomotive will be making a short visit to the railway to participate in these charters, we’re also pleased to offer the first goods charter at the railway in over a decade. Finally, it’s worth noting that this visit will provide one of the last opportunities to photograph the locomotive in BR Black before it is repainted this summer.
