Avanti West Coast have announced the winners of the Together We Roll photography competition. Chosen from 50 entries, four standout images are set to be displayed at stations across the West Coast Mainline.
The winning entries were submitted by professional, emerging, and amateur photographers, alongside Avanti staff, celebrating the railway’s role in connecting people and places.
The images capture stunning locations along the route and showcase the communities that shape the West Coast network.
A judging panel comprised of professional photographers, an artist, and railway journalists praised the entries for their powerful technical quality and striking use of colour and light, as well as their depiction of life on and around the railway.
The winning photographers were celebrated at a private event hosted by Avanti West Coast at the National Gallery in London. Their work will also feature in Modern Railways magazine.
The competition follows the launch of Avanti’s colourful Together We Roll train wrap. Created by digital artist Baraka Carberry, the design spans all seven carriages of Evero train 807010, recently named “Legacy” to honour the people and communities it represents.
The four Together We Roll winners are:
- Emerging artists: Thomas Hill
- Amateur photographers: Jane Jones
- Professional photographers: James Harding
- Our People: Alistair Campbell
“We’re grateful to everyone who helped us capture the spirit of our route through this competition – just as our Together We Roll train wrap celebrates the people who live and work on the West Coast Main Line. With the railway playing a vital role in connecting people and places, and the rail industry recently celebrating its 200th anniversary year, this felt a great opportunity to showcase that through the lens of keen photographers.
“The winning images offer a unique snapshot of the West Coast and we’re pleased they will be enjoyed by the millions of people who travel through our stations.”
Jo Bird, Communications Director at Avanti West Coast
