"Brilliant journey through wonderful countryside. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Hard to beat a steam hauled train on such a scenic line. Had all one should expect including some soot and smoke. Must go again some time while such a journey is possible. This is so much better than a trip on a heritage line with much faster speed. A real working railway for a day. In Mallaig we had lunch and visited an excellent second hand book shop." - David C, TripAdvisor

"Always loved steam and Harry Potter so I booked this for my birthday and it was brilliant! The staff were all very helpful and knowledgeable. The scenery was so beautiful and its lovely they flip your seat so you can see both sides on your journey. Really loved it. After seeing all the Instagram reels and spots on TV, to actually experience this spectacular journey for myself was a dream come true." - TripAdvisor
