A 22-YEAR-old who created a video about his hometown of Scarborough has been named National Rail's chief adventure officer.

Self-employed photographer Jacob Allen's 60-second film won a public vote. It landed him a £10,000 part time job to vlog his way around Britain with a friend using his 16 to 25 Railcard.

Jacob said he could not believe he had won: "I love exploring and bringing things to life for people through video, and now I’m going to get paid to do just that. I’d like to thank everyone who voted for me and helping me to win my dream job.”
