How it works

Five RailLeague app screens: logging a sighting, the live feed, a scored sighting, the feed, and trophies with the league table.
App screens shown are in development.
App screen: point the camera at the number and RailLeague reads it.
01

Log what you see

Your phone camera grabs the date, time and place. Say the number or type it.

Every photo goes into your own collection and, if you choose, into a live feed of what is being spotted around the country right now.

App screen: trophies and the UK league table.
02

Climb the leagues

Earn kudos from other RailLeague community members for unusual workings.

Live standings all year, nationally, regionally and against your mates, plus trophies and badges for challenges such as classes cleared by sight or haulage.

Three app screens: members' photos in the feed and a scored sighting with kudos.
03

Regular photo competitions

Your best shot could win cash. We will run themed photo competitions all year round.

Our judges pick a shortlist, then RailLeague members vote for the winner.

Avanti West Coast Pendolino 390047 under a glass station roof. Class 55 Deltic 55002 in BR blue hauling heritage coaches. West Midlands Railway Class 172 Turbostar 172102 arriving at a platform. Blue and white HST power car at Wolverhampton.
Regular competitions

Cash prizes all year round

Enter your best photograph of any loco or unit: diesel or electric, main line or preserved, light rail and steam included.

Signing up doesn't enter you into a competition. We'll tell you when the first one opens.
