Statesman Rail - West Highland & Jacobite Statesman

[CallySleeperKid]

I have just booked! Can't wait!

West Highland & Jacobite Statesman

Anyone ever been on this tour, or any tour run by The Statesman? Looks very professional.

I recently did the West Highland Line on The Caledonian Sleeper, but to do this line in some lovely old coaching stock should be amazing. (and in the daylight!)

Gone for first class as a treat for my partners parents wedding anniversary.

Roll on October.

I did the jacobite last summer to Mallaig nothing better than being able to do heads out for photos and filming, its a great line but dont think a 158 does it justice. I need the Kyle line next but will only do it on proper coaches, im hoping theres some tours going up there in the summer along with Oban which im looking to get in at some time. Does look a good tour your going on im sure it will be a cracker

Yeah I can't wait.

I love the Kyle line, but I have to admit that the West Highland Line just edges it, mainly because of the viaducts, and some close curves to get some good pictures of the loco, but saying that I have only done the Kyle line on a 158, I am guessing it would be a different story in a loco hauled train.

In all honesty, there is not a bad line in the highlands, nothing I have ever seen comes close, but everyone has their own taste.
