Hi folks,

Welcome to my website which contains a growing number of archive pictures and all the new stuff I'm taking. Right now, there's over 98,000 pictures to view or buy.


STOP PRESS: (7th August 2026)

This year I hope to keep you up to date with where new pictures have been added. Of course, you can easily find the most up to date pictures by clicking on the 'recent' bar at the top of this page. This will display all the galleries and subjects that have had pictures added.

I've had a busy year with many 1000s of new pictures added from around the UK, both travel and railway orientated. I've still got backlog of pictures from a visit to Devon and also some HS2 construction site visits. I hope to get through those this month. There will also be more foreign railway and travel shots to add before the year's out. I expect the total number of pictures on the site to pass the 100,000 mark before the end of the year, so there's plenty to see! 

If a gallery you'd like to browse is shown as archived follow the message on the gallery and it will be reactivated within 24 hours.  

Like most freelances, I've been feeling the pinch financially as the world is continuing to go through economic and political turmoil. So, if you'd like to buy copies of any pictures (prices start from as little as £1.75) you can buy prints through this website. I'd be very grateful for your support. Of course, you can also show support by buying me a coffee! https://ko-fi.com/paulbigland68312

As well as pictures I also have a blog running which documents my travels and experiences in more detail. You can find that here;

Cheers,

Paul

ABOUT ME:

I'm a freelance professional photographer, journalist and blogger who works (mostly) in and around the rail industry.

As well as my journalistic endeavors I’ve worked for most of the major players in the industry, this includes: The DfT, Network Rail, Hitachi, Siemens, Abellio, Alstom, ATOC, Arriva, The Go-Ahead group, Virgin, First Great Western, DB Schenker, National Express group, Northern Rail, Grand Central, London Underground and First Capital Connect.

My pictures and articles appear in a host of magazines including RAIL, Modern Railways, The International Railway Journal, The Railway Magazine, Railways Illustrated, Tramways and Urban Transit, Railnews and Rail Business Daily. I also supply pictures to the national newspapers and media which includes The Times, Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Independent The Telegraph and the BBC. Pictures have also been used in many books over the years – including the Lonely Planet series of travel guides.

Besides the railway images I’ve a large library of worldwide travel pictures featuring dozens of countries from all corners of the planet.

Guestbook for Paul Bigland Photography

I never have seen a photographer who concentrates his projects on the rail networks of a country. And I think that does makes you stand alone in the photographer’s community. Actually, it is a good thinking as it will give you a unique identity.

Tyneside Metro isn't correct. It is called Tyne & Wear Metro for a reason. It's within Tyne & Wear county and the system serves BOTH Newcastle and Sunderland.

Excellent Collection, Paul! Loved the Indian pictures, especially!

Excellent collection in Manchester. It's 40 yrs since I worked in the city centre. I must get back to take some shots. I like the inclusion of the passengers etc to create the whole scene. Too many shots by others just show the tram/loco which could be anywhere. Thanks again for sharing.
