Railway Station On Visit To Fort William HIghlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of the Harry Potter steam train leaving the railway station in Fort William on visit to the Highlands. The first station was opened on 7 August 1894 by the West Highland Railway which was later absorbed by the North British Railway. The station is on the West Highland Line and the starting point for The Jacobite, a steam locomotive hauled passenger service to Mallaig. Fort William has three daytime trains per day in each direction on Mondays to Saturdays, running between Glasgow Queen Street and Mallaig. There is also a daily early morning service to Mallaig that starts at Fort William, with a similar return service in the evening. The Caledonian Sleeper operates six nights per week (not Saturdays) from London Euston, starting/terminating at Fort William. The sleeper also carries seated coaches and can thus be used as a regular service train to/from Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh Waverley.
