Providing the entirety of mainland Scotland with transport
links, Abello Scotrail is a fantastic commuter service that means
even the farthest reaches of this wild and wonderful country is
easily accessible. Running since 1983 under a variety of operators,
this service has numerous lines, including one that stretches from
the tip, Thurso, down to Edinburgh.
The lines on the Scotrail service are some of the most scenic in
the world. The Kyle Line, the West Highland Line, and the Hadrian's
Wall line are all services by Scotrail trains. The West Highland
Line, stretching between Glasgow to Mallaig, stopping off at Fort
William and with an offshoot line to Oban, is arguably the most
famous of this line. There are numerous stunning sights to look out
for on this route - from the breathtaking wilds of the highlands,
to the peaks of the craggy mountains, to the iconic 21-spans of the
beautiful Glennfinnan Viaduct.
Another famed line that we utilise on the Scotrail network
includes the Kyle of Lochalsh line, running 63 miles between
Dingwall and Kyle of Lochalsh. With spectacular views of the Isle
of Skye as you come towards the pretty Kyle of Lochalsh, this
particular line is certainly a glorious introduction to both of the
Highlands of Scotland and the Hebrides. Other particularly
beautiful places that the network explores include the Cairngorm
National Park, on the Inverness to Edinburgh line, which passes
through magnificent and verdant pine forests, as well as nearby the
iconic Cairngorm Mountain.
The stock that traverses the lines are comfortable and modern,
with spacious carriages and seating, as well as large windows
through which to see the passing beauty of the Scottish
countryside. New trains will be coming soon in the next few years,
with more services, power sockets, Wi-Fi, and improved
accessibility.
