The Jacobite

Fort William to Mallaig

The West Highland Railway (Mallaig extension) is arguably Britain's most scenic, and what better way of seeing it than from "The Jacobite" steam train.

Our cameras followed one such service in the glorious mid-summer sunshine on board Black Five No 45407 The Lancashire Fusilier. To see the scenery in all its glory, a helicopter followed our train all the way to Mallaig with a state of the art gyro stabilised camera filming in high definition. Cameras also show lineside shots, footplate shots and the radio signalling centre (RETB) at Banavie.

So sit back and take a front row seat on the beautiful “Road to the Isles" nowadays made famous as the route of the Hogwarts Express over the magnificent curved Glenfinnan Viaduct.
