Yes, I agree. My favourite train trip in the UK. The scenery is magnificent and gets more interesting as the train travels west. Years ago, there used to be "afternoon tea" trips on this train, but this is probably discontinued. Thank you for this video.
This video and location looks great I will comment once complete West Highland line and Kyle of Localsh this summer. Nice video good narration for inspiration 🏴
One of my favourite rail trips during my big trip from downunder in September/October 2018. I did the full round trip in one day from Inverness to Kyle, then road coach over the bridge to Skye and down to Armadale, then ferry across to Mallaig, Jacobite Steam Train from Mallaig to Fort William and, finally, road coach Fort William to Inverness. Was based in Inverness for a week and also did the Far North Line and a round trip Inverness-Aberdeen-Dundee-Perth-Inverness as well as local trips to the Strathsey Railway and Pitlochry, Urquhart Castle and Fort Augustus.
That is a genuinely amazing trip! I'm always amazed that in the highlands a lot of the rail infrastructure is older than most living people, its amazing feats of engineering in amazing parts of the world. I have a far North Line Video out if you want to check that out. I'm planning on doing a lot more travel related videos in Scotland so if you have any requests then please just leave them down below as I do want to showcase what people want to see as well as the maybe less known.
I posted a package at Strathcarron Post Office last year whilst driving from Inverness to Skye. It shares the same building as the railway station and hotel. Not very busy it's only open 13.30 to 15.30 Wednesday and Friday ! Excellent video 👍
I went to Aberdeen University in the 1970s. As part of the students charities campaign we would hire a train from Aberdeen-Inverness-Kyle-of-Lochalsh. We had a great time. One year the train got stuck in very heavy snow and we the students actually had to dig the the train out of the snow. Happy memories.
Thanks for the video. I'd ridden this line in December of 1993. I was the only person boarding on a snow laden Saturday Morning in Inverness, so I suppose ridership has increased 7 fold over the years😉
I used to ride this line daily as a trolly dolly lol spent a summer doing it, from Inverness to Kyle, quick lunch and straight back. It was a brilliant summer
@@welshlad6427 It was brilliant mate I only left Scotrail because they put me on the Aberdeen route, I was more of a Tour Guide on the Kyle route than anything else
Scenery was stunning, there was one area I’d love to go explore I felt quite drawn to it. Thanks for showing us another great adventure on our doorstep 😊 nice of the sun to come out at the end
Michael Palin travelled on this line for the 1980's 'Great Railway Journeys of the World' series, it is truly world class. I have travelled on both this line and The West Highland Line and I prefer Inverness - Kyle.
@@WorldWide_Dom It's my favourite railway documentary of all time. Kyle of Lochalsh still looks the same as it did when Michael Palin arrived in May 1980
Greetings from the California coast. Don't know why your video popped up in my suggestions, but I thought I recognized the name. Back in 1998 I was on a tour with a group of Scottish country dancers (mostly from California), and we stayed a couple of nights at a hotel a few miles down the road in the direction of Eilean Donan. I can't remember the name of the place where we stayed. But we had a Sunday afternoon with nothing scheduled so a few of us took a taxi over to Kyle of Lochalsh and walked around. Of course the railroad tracks that end at the shore were very distinctive. Only a couple of places in town were open. One was a souvenir shop by the tracks. The other was, if I remember correctly, a pub or restaurant with a very small bookstore inside. We browsed the books and chatted with a few locals. What an incredibly beautiful piece of creation.
I may just be trying to tempt you here as, well, I know the weather can't compete with that glorious California sunshine but I would definitely recommend another trip, the town & area has really picked up since the tourism really took off in the early 2010's. Thanks for the comment, sounds like you had a great trip.
Fine video, despite the inclement weather still with magnificent views. Britain's best known living train spotter, Michael Palin close to 40 years or more ago, took this line for the Great Railway Journeys series to obtain in part, the old station signage to take back home (presumably by train). During the summer at least, the line should get more patronage.
Do you think that the line has changed much in that time? Kishorn Port is somewhere i'd like to visit in the near future, apparently there are plans for it in the future with a big development but not sure on the details.
Im lucky enough to live near kyle and visit inverness frequently, theres been a couple of times ive been the only one on the train. Cup of coffee and a book- smashing.
Thank you for the memories, I did the very same journey a few years ago as part of a railrover ticket. This cost £130 at the time which allowed for 4 days of travel out of a 7 day period . We travelled from Carlisle to Edinburgh up to Thurso, back down to dingwall then onto the Kyle. From there to Inverness, then down the east coast to Dundee. From there it was home via Carlisle . A lot of travelling but definitely worth every penny.
Thanks NSD what a beautiful ride through your country side keep getting out n about for us peeps who can’t travel at present the scenery was super and yup I just pushed the button also what time of year would be good to know so it can be planned keep it going 🇦🇺
It’s a great beautiful rail journey that I have done twice both ways and I am glad I did not have to sit with a face mask that long like yourself. Brave guy !
Great video with great scenery! A line which I think is underrated must be the Cumbrian Coast line from Carlisle to Lancaster. While the Settle to Carlisle line is indeed scenic,I do think it is overated compared to other routes. Once again great video!
Thank you for this Video, in the early '80s ( yes I know the exact date), my Bride and I travelled on this line as a part of our Honeymoon. Great reminder. We went on to later call our first Home "Kyle" which caused some confusion to some German Students we Hosted for a Summer Holiday as they assumed our Surname must be Kyle, they said no-one calls their home anything but the Family Name!
It's just a different route, love both of them. I knew someone who said that the West Highland route was rubbish. That's so untrue, I told him that he ought to be thoroughly ashamed of himself for saying that. The two lines are totally different. From a new subscriber. 🙂
I took the train from Kyle to Inverstress and sat on the wrong side. A French couple sat opposite me, where the views were and started snogging. I have two hours of railway cuttings. Be good... Go Kyle...😊
I have been on the West Highland line at least 5 times. We are all entitled to our opinions and to me having journeyed the Kyle line once there is no comparison. There is no part of the Kyle line that can match so many parts of the West Highland line. I enjoyed my day on the Kyle but no it doesn't start to compare to the West Highland line.
...beautiful trip, thank you for sharing, is sad to think the authorities wanted to close the line but great to see public pressure prevailed exact same situation in my neck of the woods here in Ipswich the then BR wanted to close completely the East Suffolk line to Lowestoft. Just wondered if Network Rail had considered a D.C third rail electrification programme for your beautiful line without the ugly masts spoiling the countryside as on other A.C routes? 👌
Nice! I do plan to do a few trips to Skye in the future, so am looking for tip from locals on things to do and see that maybe are off the beaten path. 😊
When we came to Kyle there was us and a family with wee kids who had a great time using the carridge as a jungle gym..... good trip. But coming to Skye by train, how did we leave? Lost in the mists of memory. Maybe that was the time we had a railpass?
Nice man! I hope you enjoyed the video. That's quite an interesting commute you have, certainly much better than mine, thats just a load of traffic 😂 how do you find the train generally?
@@WorldWide_Dom Got a motorbike now but the comute was always fun especially the stop between Plockton and kyle. The railway crossing there's often quite a few Highland cows out there.
@@WorldWide_Dom also yeah the video was pretty good. Was watching it relaxing and just sorta zoning out and relaxing and then saw myself and sat up and backed it up and was like "WAIT THATS ME" lmao. I'm still trying to remember back to then to see if I can remember you standing there.
Honestly you could walk it over the bridge the station really isn't far from Skye at all or take the bus all the way to Portree but the wee shuttle ferry is also there. what you all didn't see is that took a train to & from inverness from Aberdeen before and after this train ride and still had 5 hours to explore before the train home so I wasn't even on the first or the last trains of the day, really does make a great day out this route, would recommend to anyone.
Krankie is doing her best to change that,Scotlands railways are high on the list.Marples and Beeching did their damndest to close both routes, Krankie wil probably succeed. Scotlands railways are in financial trouble,these two routes have also lost the mail and virtually all freight since the seventies
I have quite a lot planned for Wester Ross. I always feel like it an area appreciated by people from the British Isles but is very 'undiscovered' by everyone else and just looked at as part of the NC500 so with that in mind I have some small and big videos planned to hopefully help try and change that. 😊
@@WorldWide_Dom Spent all of my summers in and around Gairloch from being in and out of nappies to a grown man! The locals were ace over around Opinan and Badachro.. Taught me a lot!
Why your Railway runs empty couches? This I have seen in Australia too. When I applied for booking Sydney to Canberra, they showed waiting list- 1,2 . The other day it was confirmed. Than I reached train almost all the coaches were empty. Hardly 10 to 14 Passengers in each coach. Some were totally empty. Why not they reduce couches instead of long 10 to 15 coaches train. This will be economical.
I wanted to know why don’t they dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so they extend the unused abandoned underground stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and remix and make them all together and also redesign them overhead line and also make them into 5 cars per unit and also having 2 Disabled Toilets on those 5 cars per unit A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into a 11 car per unit so it could have less doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more bigger and extend it to bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Train tunnel into an High Speed train. The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Train line to make it 8 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those 4 European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbish 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 37 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project that is OK for London Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street and also make another brand new tunnel train stations in Chingford and could they extend the DLR. All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo TD102KF, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel five carriages to disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extend doing roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and they can order Every 17 Octagon and Hexagon shape LNER diagram and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 117MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 117MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 16 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 16 Tonnes for all of the 117MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so Please make sure that the Builders can do as they are Told!! And Please do something about these very important Professional ideas Please Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.😉😅😅😀😀😅😀😀😅😅😀😀😀😀😀😉😉

What do you think, is this line comparable to the West Highland Line in it's beauty?
Yes indeed!
Yes, I agree. My favourite train trip in the UK. The scenery is magnificent and gets more interesting as the train travels west. Years ago, there used to be "afternoon tea" trips on this train, but this is probably discontinued. Thank you for this video.
Not bad but Fort William malaig can't be beat
This video and location looks great I will comment once complete West Highland line and Kyle of Localsh this summer. Nice video good narration for inspiration 🏴
Even more beautiful at times, and one of the few I have yet to visit or travel on
Loved the scenery, going to skye soon❤❤❤

Named my son Kyle after Kyle of Lochalsh. Grandad said that's where we came from in 17th century. May we visit one day. 😃
Thank you so much for this video. The scenery is terrific. ScotRail really ought to market this route better.
Been to Scotland on the train and yes I have to say that Scotland is so breathtaking. Beautiful scenery 😍
It is! If you have any suggestions on places in Scotland you’d like to see please let me know, I have a few more Scottish rail trips planned. 😁

Used this train to go to Kishorn oil rig construction yard back in the 1970 they used to run the steam train sometimes it was lovely, happy memories.

That sounds brilliant.
It had a refreshments car when I travelled on it.
I'm not sure if that was due to covid that refreshments has been stopped, but hope that they get them on the line again soon.
I travelled on this line 30 aAugust 22, after listening to Scottish band Runrig , the music inspired me to see it for myself.

Absolutely would recommend it! 😀
hi i got ferry over from skye n train from Kyle to Inverness n d 80s
Scotrail should make more of an effort to sell the line. It is really one of the best in Europe.
I do feel that the west highland line does get all the attention so I totally agree they need to market this line more.
Lochcarron is my home👍 welcome
Bonnie Scotland! Nice work, but just a shame about the dirty windows. 🚂🏍
Yep, well worth the price of the ticket. And good to know I of S is a stone throw away....by Ferry, ofcourse?!!
Honestly you could walk it over the bridge the station really isn't far from Skye at all or take the bus all the way to Portree but the wee shuttle ferry is also there. what you all didn't see is that took a train to & from inverness from Aberdeen before and after this train ride and still had 5 hours to explore before the train home so I wasn't even on the first or the last trains of the day, really does make a great day out this route, would recommend to anyone.
Lovely but would have been nice to know names of villages, hills, rivers……
You've got seatbelts on that train? I thought I heard him say 'fasten your seatbelts'...?
No, no seatbelts, though that would be quite a novelty. I think there are some sleepers that have seatbelts but that is as far as I know. 😅
😘
40 pounds.... $80!! A return to Wellington is about $20...... with just as striking scenery but heaps more passengers.
From here how do u reach isle of skye?
Across the Skye bridge by car, taxi or bus is easiest, though you can also walk but it takes a while.
Sorry yes beautiful thank you
loved your video mate apart from the scary face nappy scenes
Was there 2 weeks ago at a wedding
Lovely I hope you enjoyed the trip and hope the wedding went well 😁
Yes, my son married a local girl on Kyleakin. Was a wonderful time
