The lights of winter: a different view of the Lapland Express

Lev Pavliuk took his drone to the skies over Downpatrick on the last weekend of our Lapland Express Santa trains to experiment with night time drone photography, and we think you will agree that the results were pretty special.

The relatively slow speed of the train made for some dramatic nocturnal views of our diesel railcar 458 “Antrim Castle” trundling along our tracks, including some very different views of the Downpatrick skyline and surrounding countryside.

An NIR 450 class railcar has never looked so good! Huge thanks to Lev for his efforts and also allowing us to share the photos.
