This is truly one of the world’s greatest train journeys - just looks at those breathtaking views of the Glenfinnan Viaduct! 🚂

Do you recognise this train? @westcoastrailways provided this train for the ‘Hogwarts Express’ in the Harry Potter films. 🎬

We sent our Marketing Assistant, Melanie, to research our popular Scotland by Train holiday. The moment this world-famous steam train crossed the Glenfinnan Viaduct was a real highlight of her trip! 😍
