Scenic photo competition winners

Super snaps from our scenic rail route photo competition winners.

We asked you to capture moments along the Settle-Carlisle and Leeds-Lancaster-Morecambe rail routes and you've done us proud!

Six winning entries were whittled down from over 60 photographs submitted to Metro and Northern Rail’s photo competition.

Photographers of all ages and standards sent in pictures taken during journeys along the spectacularly scenic routes.

Congratulations to our winners.
