If you are a photographer aged 18 and over, you are welcome to take photographs from the lineside provided you hold either an annual or day lineside pass. You must not enter GWR property without a pass; you must wear a clean high-visibility jacket and use agreed access points to reach GWR property. You must not, under any circumstances, enter Greet tunnel. You should obey any instructions from GWR staff. When a train is approaching please acknowledge any whistle or horn sounded from the locomotive.

You can either buy a day pass for £8.00 on the occasion of your visit, or buy an annual pass for £35.00 or, if you are a member of GWR Limited, £15.00. Membership starts at £14.00 so you will not only save £6 by applying to join the railway but enjoy a range of benefits as well as obtain an annual lineside pass!
