The Youth Rail Enthusiasts Association is dedicated to helping the young railway community and that’s why we have an advice section on our website. This area contains lots of useful articles about how to carry out your hobby safely but also contains pages to help you get the most out of your photography and videography too. We also have articles which explain how the railways work to give you a better understanding of the technical and operational side of trains, information about ticketing and how to get the best deals and articles which cover issues which affect young people outside of the railways too such as bullying and drugs.

All our articles are created by YREA members and you can see which one in the credits at the bottom of each article’s page. If you need help with something which isn’t listed in this section then you can visit our forums where someone will be able to assist you. We’re always looking for people to write articles for us so please contact us if you’d like to write an article – you’ll be marked as a contributor on the forums if you do.

The articles we have available are listed at the top right of this page – just click a title to get started.
