Submit Photo

This section can only be used to supply: 

  • photographs of employees
  • updated photographs for family members already in receipt of a card or pass issued by rail staff travel 

You cannot use this page to add family members to your rail staff travel record.

If you have not yet added a family member to your record, you need to apply for them using the forms on the Forms page providing the necessary proof of eligibility.

Rail Staff Travel do not issue Photo ID Cards. To get one,  you will need to take a passport sized photo to any staffed National Rail ticket office and ask for a public ID Card.  Only active Safeguarded employees and their family members aged 16 or over need photo ID.
