PROBLEMS AT INVERNESS: Things go wrong after a visit to Glencoe, Fort William and Loch Ness.

- This day trip involved three buses - Glasgow to Fort William via Glencoe, Fort William to Inverness via Loch Ness (I looked for the monster) and Inverness to Glasgow. What happens when Covid-19 travel restrictions change overnight? Problems occur.

Thank you for taking us along take care my friend
thank you so much for your wonderful youtube videos .Love the narration and beautiful scenery, my late husband was a proud Scot and although I am Australian and we lived in Australia We were lucky enough to visit his homeland in 1970 (lived in Perth for a year),then visited again in 2009 (just a few years before he passed (this time we had 7 weeks to visit as much of your gorgeous country as possible (wonderful memories) and then again in 2017 with my daughter as she was only little the first time we went and she wanted to see where her dad came from.thank you once again Have subscribed and look forward to many more great adventures with you. PS: nearly forgot to mention the fantastic,friendly people we met each time who added another wonderful dimensions to our trips. Kate Walker
Inverness, my home town.
Place was very quiet looking. It's normally rammed with tourists. 😩
There used to be a Railway line from Spean bridge all the way to Fort Augustus . Then on to the paddle steamer for Inverness. Line closed in the 1950s. There had been plans to run the line to Inverness with a tunnel under Inverness castle
Beautiful scenery on the journey, thank you for taking all of us along with you. Brilliant trip!
I did a trip with Discover Scotland only a few days ago from Edinburgh to Glenfinnan, Loch Shiel and Fort William , the scenery was simply astounding. The mountains were still snowcapped whilst the Loch was a smooth as a mill pond . Its a beautiful memory that my daughter and I will treasure for always, I would recommend everyone do this journey , you won't be disappointed.
From SA,worked from Glasgow all up the west coast,servicing the Towing tractors aboard Caledonian macbraynes ferrys,great memories, but hard work I miss Scotland.
Great video Scott, going through some of your old ones on my day off chilling out. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video Scott shame about the bus ouch that was sore looking forward to next video please keep them coming
Wow! Ive never seen the 915 citylink so quiet. The route up the A82 is beautiful. Ive not been beyond Glencoe on the bus but got train from Fort William back to Motherwell after my West Highland way. That is also a beautiful train ride. especially the section that mirrors the A82 along Loch Lomond.
A wee hint if that ever happens again, get the bus to Aviemore for free then catch the train from there at a slightly reduced fare
Been binging on your videos. Very entertaining.
What a lovely day you chose to travel across Scotland. Stunning scenery ! Looking forward to see you walking the West Highland Way next year. We will walk with you - the lazy, virtual way here on TH-cam :))
Wonderful video, great viewing 👍🏻😊
great trips thank you for letting us share stay safe
The drive from Ballachulish to Oban is spectacular and one that I took on many occasions from Inverness, Fort William and on to Oban then back to Glasgow when I was a company rep and did that for 12 years.
One of the nicest drives in Scotland! The A2 to Glencoe. Nice video Scott.
your videos just get better and better keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Last time in Inverness took the bus to Edinburgh as no trains were running due to strike action by Scotrail on a Sunday.
Driver concerned WOULD NOT let me off at the Queensferry Street west end bus stop and insisted on taking me all the way to the Edinburgh bus station despite the stopping pattern being advertised.
Will not be using Edinburgh Coach Lines again who operated this service. Shocking way to behave.
Generally speaking rail replacement buses are exactly that - and often only allowed to drive between the railway stations themselves.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful scenery
Marvellous! A real adventure for me. I became a subscriber recently as all your clips I have seen so far are enjoyable and yoi take care to film the most interesting things. Thank you!
Another great video Scott i love being a subscriber to your you tube channel
Great video. Only recently found your channel so catching up on some older videos.
I've never been in Skye.
Thought about going on the bus from Buchanan Street.
Saw it was 6 hours plus and thought i rather watch you doing it.
😂
More power to your elbow. I once made a day trip to Isle of Skye on the bus. It took six hours to get there. I have also been to Isle of Mull for the day and up to Banff as well on day trips from Glasgow. The Penzance and Belfast routes I would also consider but I now have a wee dog so cannot
Brilliant video.. Thanks. 🙂
Re: Caledonian Sleeper. A lot of folk don't know this but if you miss the lowland sleeper from central, head over to queen st low level and get onto the Highland sleeper portion from Fort William. The Highland sleeper doesn't always run via Queen St LL so check....it's also useful in the opposite direction as you can get to Glasgow 2hrs earlier than the lowland sleeper.
scotland is a beautiful place. I went to the highlands about 10 years ago on a coach holiday (only 100 for the coach, hotel, meals, and excursions cos it was in january and everything was VERY cold), but i enjoyed it a lot.
I do enjoy watching your videos.i am hope to visit Scotland this year,the scenery looks breathtaking.
Happy new year to you.
Happy New Year to you too Robert!
My goodness what an epic journey....you take the car so much for granted! I love Inverness but usually it’s either a destination because I’m in Aviemore or in Banffshire. Looking forward to your next trip. As a school trip we did Waverley to Paris🙄 Suffice to say youth was on my side😂❤️
my auntie mhari lives in aviemore

You need a senior rail card. You'll get a third off all rail fares in England, Scotland and Wales including fares that are already discounted.
Hi Jane - Shhhh! I already have one, although that's an admission I'm 60+ years. The local transportation card allows free travel on buses, so when cash is tight, the bus is Plan B.
@@PlanesTrainsEverything I'm just back from a week travelling around Scotland by train and saved £70. You'll really notice the savings on those long distance train journeys you're planning. I was hoping to do the longest continuous train journey from Aberdeen to Penzance but it's not running at the moment. Looking forward to seeing your videos.
Remember with the bus pass you get free train travel within SPT area
Love your videos & your channel my friend.
👍👍 thanks for enduring the hassles to let us see more of Scotland
i love living and growig up on scotland , inverness is my home , im 14 yrs old and its amazing , i love taking walks in ness islands , i also recommend you try harry gows marzipan apples there SO good
Love your video 👍👍👍
Hi love your vids make sure you book a seat with citylink before you go then you will have no problems fingers crossed 👌👌🤞🤞👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank You.
Prices on ScotRail are a disgrace
First thing i thought was when i saw Inverness bus station was steak pie and chips from Charlies!
I keep seeing various different tartans (mainly masks these days!). I just wondered if you have your own particular tartan and 'clan'? And also wonder if you do all your brilliant videos with a 'proper' camera, or a smart-phone? Thanks for everything you do (for us!)
This is better than watching the Telly.
Well done
The 🇻🇳
I was thinking about doing this journey thinking twice about it now
Good 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍
In Glencoe at Stob Dearg, wasn't that Buichaille Etive Mor?
Very nice tune 🙂👍 can I ask which map app are you using on the video? Thanks
Enjoyed this vid, very clear picture with good content and scenery. I love Scotland and we had a Family Caravan on the banks of Loch Tay years ago. I live on the North East coast of England (South Shields) and used to often drive up to Musselburgh for a day out but with the Anti English feeling stirred up by Nicola we don't bother now. I served in the Royal Marines and had many Scots mates, what would they make of it all. Sorry for digressing, as I said and excellent video, look forward to more.
@Delta 1 The curt tone of your last three words just confirms my thoughts. Hardly a friendly explanation was it.
Didn’t fancy taking the first bus up to the end of Skye?
i have been to Fort William Train Station it's nice
me and my family go to glencow when the snow comes
Be glad you could get on the train....
Enjoyed that and subbed! Giving me a few ideas for my own travels too. I wonder if you can get the bus to Durness?
Thanks for the sub. That was in interesting question about Durness. The nearest city is Inverness and it would take two changes of bus to get there. A challenge, but I'm sure it's worth it. If you haven't already seen this site, I use this all the time to see the logistics behind bus/train/ferry itineraries... www.travelinescotland.com/ and just click on 'journey planner' . Loads of fun ahead of you.
@@PlanesTrainsEverything thanks Scott. Yes I might be heading back up to Inverness once things have settled down a bit. Agree it could be quite a journey this one so it does need a bit of planning for once! Cheers 👍
Yer music is kinda incongruous fella. Your vid and asides are, however, quality! Many thanks.
Conclusively, travelling between Scotland locations will be more economical or scenic via busses or train?
Hi Scott.. hey loving your videos my friend.... please could you tell me the name of music tracks an cd title.... hey keep them coming mate..... All the best.... Richard in Newcastle upon Tyne 😀
This youtube channel would have been even nicer to watch during those long boring Covid lockdowns!.
There are 2 places over there that are in Australia Perth is the capital of Western Australia and Darlington is a suburb south of Adelaide South Australia.
l live in australia melbourne l watch some of your stuff it was great l felt l was on a journey with you have ever thinking coming to austrtalia
God bless.
Cracking video. Glad you got down the road alright and at least you got a run on one of the class 43s, how did you find it?
They have been completely refurbished inside, and so If you entered one blindfolded, you wouldn't know you were on a 40 year old train. They are very smart and comfortable, and most importantly, reliable as well. They were really made to last.
U need to visit FALKIRK get the train or something best town in the central belt
YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED THE NIGHT IN AN HOSTELL THERES LOTS IN INVERNESS FOR £20, AND GOT THE BUS NEXT DAY.
planning on booking the Hogwarts express for my dads 80th - plus maybe my kids and 2 older grandkids, looking around and found this thanks for sharing :)
Great vid. But how do you know that the kind bus driver isnt someone yoou have annoyed in the pas and took the opportunity to get one back at yer????
Your plans didn’t go to plan and also getting ripped off on train journey but at least there were some stunning view
Why didn’t you board at GLA?
Hi Scott, just to say I congratulate you on the professional way you put your journeys together. I travel with you every night, once I'm in bed. Keep up the great work.
Wouldn't know there was any problem from how graciously you took it (assuming you didn't kick every living thing is smaller than you within reach between shots, off-camera) 😜
Thanks for sharing! I think you spend a lot of money for travelling. Too expensive!
10:40 Bus full?
Our was every 2nd seat empty??
If you are referring to the service from Inverness and South to Glasgow when Scott was advised the bus would be full from Aviemore, that WOULD be correct. I worked in Aviemore a few years ago and all year round, Aviemore is busy with tourist traffic, especially with people who catch the early morning services from the rest of Scotland, and spend the afternoon in the area then catch this particular service which starts at Inverness, then stops at Aviemore, Pitlochry, Perth then Glasgow.
Note, it is the LAST service out of Inverness going south and because it's invariably pre-booked passengers only, the driver will know of loadings en-route and whether there'll be spare seats available from Inverness or not!
Where did the train the train from Perth come from ?
You're asking where the train from Perth came from? I would guess...Perth?
Having now watched the video, the train is most likely from Aberdeen.
Is there a bus from inverness to fort william?
There are many buses each day, leaving two hours apart.
@@PlanesTrainsEverything
Thank you very much cant wait till june to get there , if i see you in scotland ill shout you a beer
do “normal” trains run to Fort William or just Calendonian Sleeper?
Yes they do! There are a handful a day, wouldn't make sense keeping the line open just for one night train!
@@epender Thanks, I didn’t know if freight trains ran. In Victoria, Australia, the reason for retaining many lines is for freight trains, usually bulk such as wheat or rolls of sheet steel.
@@darylcheshire1618 Ah yeah that makes sense, freight rail isn't used all that often over here :)
I thought when you said you hope too get a shot of the Loch Ness monster l thought you were referring to nicola sturgeon. Thank goodness you were only joking.
That would be slightly funny if she was from somewhere remotely close to Loch Ness
@@ependerNo, it would still be ultra pathetic.
Tbf the journey down the A9 is boring and not very scenic, the train might have been the better journey
70 € plan B 😢 scauldy !! ouch
Hello there! im planning on taking a solo travel trip to scotland for 4 days,now im wanting to stay at glasgow for 2 nights and Edinburgh for 2 nights, im wanting to explore fort william and inverness aswell as glasgow and Edinburgh and ive realised glasgow is closer to fort william then Edinburgh and Edinburgh is closer to inverness then glasgow, are there direct trains from glasgow to fort william and direct trains from Edinburgh to inverness im wanting to explore them early as i can so i can head back before the last trains depart im wanting to explore fort william in particular glenfinnan as im an harry potter fan and thats one of the main film locations and inverness as its near loch ness and i want to visit there i have had a read and it does say theres a bus from inverness to loch ness is this true any advice would be great thank you :)
Hi, yes there are direct trains Glasgow-Ft William and Edinburgh-Inverness. There's a great website I use which offers all public transport between any two points. It's called Traveline Scotland and I use it all of the time...
www.travelinescotland.com/lts/#/travelInfo
You can filter out buses or trains, or via points. It's really quite useful.
@@PlanesTrainsEverything ill be travelling to scotland next month, really excited! Thanks for the information and help :)
hey how did it go? Did you enjoy yourself? @@brandon9831
@@BlowinFree hi, it went great ive been back to scotland after this comment to! Scotland is an amazing place, the views the people the food everything is incredible. Also the direct trains from each scottish town/ city is very convienent!
@@brandon9831 I’m so pleased you liked it! I’m from Edinburgh but lived in Manchester for ten years and love it. I’ve got a new job which comes with a tied cottage on the Black Isle north of Inverness and start next month. Im terrified! It will be a big change in my life
Walked the west highland way as part of my Duke of Edinburgh awards scheme
With the train drivers getting a massive pay rise (12%) the ticket prices will be going even higher very soon
Can you show me evidence of this claim that train drivers are getting 12%?
Drivers deserve to be paid properly, passengers deserve affordable fares. Very difficult when you run things for profit
And no reply to my question. Of course not.
I should do something like this... Like you I get free travel on UK buses. but yours looks to be a pensioner bus pass (Just kidding. You don't look a day over 18) but mine is for a disability.
Neither of you get free travel on UK buses.
He gets free travel on SCOTTISH buses, you will get free travel in whichever country of the UK you live in only.
The Scottish scheme includes inter-city coach services, the English and Welsh schemes do not and the Northern Irish one includes almost all bus and rail in the province and for over 65s almost all bus and rail transport in the Republic of Ireland as well.
Haven’t seen this guy saying anything decent about anything. What a hard man to please
To be fair the country is a shambles
£64 is ridiculous isn't it?
60 quid, don't you just love privatized trains?
You'd probably love them even more if you paid the correct fare. With a Senior Railcard (which our intrepid traveller has) an anytime single Inverness - Glasgow is £32 not £60 (2022 prices) Even without the railcard the cost for that trip would be £48.50, or significantly less if bought as part of a return ticket.
Report the bus company Scottish City link owned by Parks of Hamilton
Sadly Inverness transport links are extremely terrible. And when u complain no one listens . But then insist in using green methods of traveling 😣. Hope it improves shortly or be using a car
Inverness is a weird one. Feels like it's in the arse crack of nowhere and is just about impossible to get to no matter how you do it, but once you're there, it feels pretty lively and has everything you need. Albeit a bubble it definitely comes across as a functioning city and not just some cutesy tourist backwater.
Few places I know in England like that too.
anyone that expects advanced ticket prices on the day of travel are kidding themselves 🤣
