It’s #BacktoHogwarts day; 28 years since #HarryPotter first took the #HogwartsExpress…spectacularly brought to life on screen with a Scottish railway icon…
The Glenfinnan Viaduct - one of the world’s most famous pieces of railway infrastructure and the longest mass concrete rail bridge in Scotland - captured the imaginations of a new generation when it appeared in the Harry Potter films.

That's on my bucket list
see glenfinnan viaduct for myself
Nice clips of the Steam train (black 5) crossing the viaduct, along with a nice clip of the class 156
Great work soo lovely 😊
At my heritage railway, I describe the compartment coaches to families as "Harry Potter coaches". They greatly appreciate them.
Should be a World Heritage Site
Glenfinnan: Harry Potter’s Viaduct, Historic Monument, and Scenery Loch Shiel...
Does the Glasgow to Mallaig service go over the viaduct?
Why not send the class 97s on a charter across the equally if not more iconic Barmouth Bridge/Viaduct?
What the christ is Barmouth Bridge?
@@73APhotography It's a very impressive wooden viaduct on the Cambrian Coast Line. Its Well worth looking it up.
More iconic? I don't think so. If you do, you're in a minority - and a small one at that.
@@roboftherock Ok, well it's my opinion
yes thats cool, but when the bars on windows is introduced in 2022 it will ruin the Jacobite
Bars on windows? Is that going to happen?
@@Iwan_89C I'm afraid so. The ORR has decided that bars have to be fitted across the drop-down windows of the carraige doors so that silly passengers don't get their heads knocked off, as happened a couple of years ago down in the south of England. The directive comes into force in 2023.
The ORR has gone even further and is insisting on central locking on trhese ex-BR Mk 1 coaching stock. 'Elf 'n' safety gone mad, if you ask me! [edited to add next]

@@roboftherock The ORR are going too extreme!
Thr Glenfinnal aqueduct is a typical Roman awyaduct bridge. What does it prove? That the barricade wall built by Roman's about 2000 years ago between Scotland snd Rome - administered England earlier built was NOT ALWAYs the boundary between Roman ruled Britain and the other parts of the modern Great Britain of today
