The title is a bit vague

Well, I'll start then;
Can it be of something like people in a station?

To be fair I have to agrree as how can you have non rail shots in a railway environment but I dont make the theme's.
But as is always say it doesn't have to be 100% spot on the theme.

Trust Craig to come up with a theme like this!

Wooden Spoon Of The Month Award, I think....


Anyway, my interpretation would be, as long as the subject of the photograph is non-rail, AND it's taken on or near the railway, it counts...

So, for example, people or animals or whatever on or near the railway IS acceptable, BUT pasengers or the station master's cat aren't, because they ARE railway-related...

... I think...

...for what it's worth...

Feel free to interpret the theme however you like, eezypeazy has summed it up quite well. The sort of shots I had in mind were ones taken from a train or something not to do with railways snapped between trains during a fotting session.

Here's a couple of examples:


The front of Sheffield Station (taken after returning from London on Gizzy's birthday meet).


The North Sea taken from the train near Berwick.

I am a little confused by this, don't know what I could enter really, is a sign at a station acceptable or a railway bridge?

Would any photo taken from a train not including a train be acceptable.

No.

I dont have any from on or near the railway that don't involve it in some way :???:

ah, well, I'll see what I can do with this one anyway

 

[Phoenix]

As long as you can link it to the railways in some way and the photo in question does not show anything that your average Joe would recognise as a ralway photo then your okay.

Good luck I have nearly gone bald with all the head scratching

 

[Craig]

Well you've got a week to go out and take something

 

[almark]

What about pictures of rocks a mile from the NYMR!? lol You cant see a train so i have a feeling it won't count?

I can relate the fact that its Goathland lol

No.

Why wouldn't that be allowed? Its a non rail subject taken on or near the railway, so a photo taken from a train not including a train would be acceptable.

Ultimately your choice but if you feel that fits the theme, enter it and as usual if people don't approve they won't vote for it.

Sorry, I edited mine becuase Craig posted while I was posting, too many people posting at one time.
