I’ve traveled the west highland line on both the class 156s and the Jacobite. The route really is beautiful and the old fashioned jointed rail giving off the clickety clack sounds only ads to the experience
As you say, Arisaig is the most westerly station in Britain. Despite this, prior to 1948 it was operated by the London and North Eastern Railway. The token system (and variants thereof) is normal for single track railways in Britain.
Apparently ScotRail has outline plans to replace 65% of its rolling stock by 2035. Does that mean replacing the ageing existing diesel and electric trains (Class 318, Class 320, Class 334, Class 156, Class 158 and Class 170). Since the Class 314 were replaced by the Class 385 and have gone for scrap with 1 being retained for hydrogen experimental unit and has been classified as Class 614.
Great video. A truly spectacular section of railway

Hi! Does it go through Glennfinan viaduct?
