- Pretty much the only train out of Inverness on this day was the shuttle service running to/from Aviemore. I'd never been to Aviemore, so I thought I'd go take a look as I'd heard it has a lovely station.
Couple the pretty station with a really beautiful morning and the chance to ride over some lengthy viaducts with amazing views and I was well up for it!

It looks like a lovely station beautifully restored. We enjoyed your narration. Gorgeous views along the way. We really need to explore Scotland. Cheers 🍻
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and for the kind words 👍
This guy keeps me entertained every day. I hope you are enjoying some of Scotland’s Railways 🏴
Yes, I love them and I'll be back for more in the future. Thanks for the kind words 👍
Aviemore Station was a gem. I always appreciate it when you loiter to purpose.
Especially as I didn't get caught! 😉
Excellent video, really enjoyed these Scotland journeys 🏴 Thanks very much 👍👍
no problem. I enjoyed making them. I'll be back in Scotland in 2024 for sure 👍
Thanks for the great Station Tour Johnny. I remember traveling through Aviemore in 2019 on the my Journey to Wick.
you are very welcome 👍
I visited Scotland last month for the first time ever and being a railway enthusiast. I was delighted to visit Aviemore station which is an absolute gem as you say. Thanks for another fascinating video.
you are very welcome. There's certainly loads of wonderful routes to be ridden in Scotland. And yes, Aviemore is a real peach.
thanks for watching 👍
A very familiar run to me, and one of my favourites, as someone who grew up in the area. A couple of pronunciation points: Tomatin has the stress on the second syllable (like tomato, but not the American pronunciation!). Slochd is pronounced /slɒxk/, i.e. rhyming with loch but with a /k/ on the end - think of it as being like ‘it’[s Loch K]atrine’. 😊
Thanks for that. Always happy to be picked up on stuff 😃
And thank you so much for watching 👍
Lovely trip. I did it in winter a few years ago from Edinburgh. One of Europe's best rail journeys.
I'll bet. Snowy views aswell no doubt! Yes, I definitely must do the whole trip one of these days.
Thanks for watching 👍
Excellent
you are very welcome 👍
Riding on the train in Scotland is just so breathtaking. Even visiting railway stations that have so much history in them.
Indeed. I don't think there are any bad routes really!
Thanks for watching another 👍
😊
Always nice when someone from down south comes up and gets blown away by the north highland lines as you have been on your 3 Inverness based vids. Those lines and the west highland line between Glasgow and Mallaig are just some of the best to sit on and watch the world go by
Yes, they sure are. I do plan to go to Mallaig and Oban in the future too. There's some many journeys on rail or road in the highlands that are awesome.
What a beautiful station at Aviemore! Great views - your videos are just lovely.
Thank you. you are so kind.
and thank you, of course, for watching👍
The Highland Mainline is just stunning, Aviemore is a lovely Station but all the stations on the line have their own characteristics and spending 16 hours on this line stopping off at every stations is one my favourites highlights that I've done in 2023. Great video.
Yes, I've not actually done the whole Highland Mainline yet myself - either as a traveller or a youTuber. I'm sure I will put that right soon. as you say, there's some lovely stations on the line and its worth breaking the journey if you can.
Best wishes to you 👍
Thanks for the extra Monday treat :) We always enjoy a bit of filmed loitering around a particularly interesting station and Aviemore is just lovely, isn`t it. Have a good week and we`ll see you on Friday!
Thank you. I'm loitering in the spare bedroom most of the week editing video... good job I enjoy that part of it too! Have a lovely week too and we'll catch up on Friday (at London Victoria) 👍
Great video, done the journey myself on a few occassions . That's my favourite journey on train , from Edinburgh to Inverness.
I will certainly return and cover that whole journey myself... 👍
Looked the perfect day weatherwise. And judging by how quiet your train looked, it seemed as though Storm Babet had kept a lot of other potential travellers indoors 👍
Yes. I think there were only 3 people travelling on the train apart from the driver and guard!
Thank you for watching 👍
I was just finishing a late night or early morning project here in California at 3 AM and what a nice surprise to see this video pop up unexpectedly. Though I was very tired I had to watch it before turning in for the day. Aviemore Station is a little gem box with an excellent restoration. I enjoyed loitering along with you and your other subscribers. I again would like to commend your excellent research staff in providing the extensive background history on all of your locations. We must also acknowledge the talents of your camera crew and your producer. Thanks for the "bonus" and I am looking forward to Friday for your next video. Your attention to detail and your presentation is so well done. "A couple of cracking viaducts." Congrats on 3rd place coupled with admiration for you getting out on the field.
Thanks very much. I shall pass you kind words onto the extensive production team here at Hoover HQ...
..and yes, we did OK, mostly thanks to the other guys I must say though.
Best wishes to California 👍
What a great run! We’ve been to Aviemore and took the Strathspey Heritage steam train. It was great fun and we would do it again. My husband would be happy to be a judge at the porridge competition. lol. Congrats on the football results!
Thanks very much! I'll let them know at Carrbridge that he's available...😉
For some reason, I can't imagine you playing American football 🙂 A great video as always, full of affection for the railways and a twinkle in your eye.
Haha - well I certainly do. I think the best I can manage now is "he's good for his age". We are just starting training for the 2024 season, so I'm going to have to do well in practice to make the starting team in 2024. First friendly series is on Sunday, so we'll see 🏈
You'd never been to Aviemore before? Wow, you certainly enjoyed a treat in that case: and thanks for sharing it with us - a positive way of spending an otherwise longer-than-expected period at Inverness! You're lucky that the sun was in the right place for that last lap down from Slochd Summit too - it is rather pretty, that view to the west. At risk of showing my age, there used to be a much better view of the Moray Firth - that side of Inveness not really starting much before the (much busier, as it was a MPD) Dr Welsh's Bridge Yard, at that time!!
Thanks Paul. There's a first time for everybody for everything! Yes, after the storm it was nice to see a bit of sunshine out of the train windows.
Mind you. The bus ride to Aberdeen that afternoon was pretty hairy...
Great pic at the end but I'm not sure where you are.
Front row, far right. It was me. honest 😃
I am making a mental note regarding the Porridge Making Championship ... they must need people for Tasting, surely.
Well you could always throw your bowl into the ring to be a taster. Not sure if could eat _that_ much porridge though!
Hi great video. Can you please what video editing software you use and what format do you upload the video.Thanks in advance.::-)
I edit in iMovie on the Mac. I upload at 1080p.
Thanks for watching 👍
Scenery coverage excellent but too brief. Reduce walking around and buildings etc footage.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks too for watching 👍
