Sustainable scenic views
Sustainable transport does amazing things. It reduces traffic jams, cleans our air and helps tackle the ever-growing climate emergency as well as improving our health and our economy. That is why Campaign for Better Transport each year host #BetterTransportWeek, an annual celebration of the transport that makes our lives better.
Held in June, this year’s event was the biggest yet and we were proud to be part of the celebrations. Throughout the week we joined Campaign for Better Transport in encouraging our followers across social media to share their #ScenicRailView to be in with a chance of winning some amazing prizes.
Thank you to everyone who took part, we saw some brilliant photographs. In addition to sharing the winning photographs below, you’ll see some extra highlights. Join in the conversation online and tell us your favourite using the hashtag #ScenicRailView.
