Having been unable to book in advance, we arrived at Fort William station at 8.30am to wait in the queue after 11/2 hour drive, having been told in various phone calls that there were 30, 40 or 25 tickets available on the day, that could NOT be booked in advance but would be sold from 9.00am on the day by...

This is a "once in a lifetime" experience through some of the most beautifull scenery in Scotland. The railway trip was well organised, and well worth the money. Mallaig is adequatley catered for with cafe"s, etc, for the couple of hours spent there.

Thoroughly enjoyed the return steam trip to mallaig. For a start ,the windows were clean ( a rare occurrence on Highland carriages) so the views ----and there were many ---were unspoiled.The old style carriages were comfortable and nostalgic despite a passenger behind asking me to close the window as they could smell the "fumes" from the engine!

The train was sold out, so we went early and got non allocated tickets. the train journey on and old steam train was nostalgic, as I was reared close to a shunting station.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful weather, good old fashioned steam train journey. Everything perfect on our first day of a bus tour, based in Fortwilliam. Travelled through lovely countryside to the first stop at Glenfinnan where we were greeted by a piper. Moved on to the final destination at Mallaig. Lovely fishing port. Enjoyed a fresh fish supper. A worthwhile experience, not... More

We travelled nearly 3 hundred miles to experience the Highlands and I've been on many a steam train, but this was simply the best! The views were breath taking and the whole experience was great!!!

We drove by this as part of our driving tour of the the highlands in scotland. We stopped at a lovely little cafe in Ft Augustus and Fort William. It's such a pretty area. I want to bo back with the heather is in bloom. The old rails make a stunning photo op in any weather... fantastic!

A fantastic experience with beautiful views. We had a short stop in Mallaig - just enough for a brief tour and a nice lunch before a return journey to Fort William. Would recommend first class and a bottle of bubbly for a special occasion!

a bit pricey ! scotrail do a regular deisel train too at more than half the price. they even stop on the glenfinnan (harry potter) viaduct to let passengers take photos. excellent idea.
