Thank you so for this. A few years ago on a coach holiday one of the highlights was this journey but it was completely spoiled by two couples who were obviously not interested in the view and spent the whole journey loudly shouting and laughing.
Wonderful views not spoiled by trees running wild like on the West Highland line. Although Scot Rail could be given some chivviing to get on with some pruning before nature takes over completely as on the WHL. Lovely video. Thanks. Rmb
Great video, thanks. The weather can change quickly up there in Scotland. Wonderful views of the countryside. Shame that the way to Skye is now mainly by road.
The Kyle and Wick/ Thurso lines from Inverness are controlled by the Radio Electronic Token Block signalling system. Because the system involves frequent voice calls between signaller and drivers over the radio the film is silent to safeguard security.
I now have the perfect video to get to sleep! This isn't a criticism, I'm an insomniac and your vids do the job. Thanx Someone mentioned music, something like Enya would be excellent.
Some cuttings would not have remained stable for much longer without them! Shows that these lines do get investment - and that in the aftermath of the Carmont derailment earthworks stability is being taken more seriously.
@@tonywise198 That's Thomas's point. He mutes the sound. Because this one is mute, he doesn't have to, and he isn't missing anything. I don't usually mute the sound. But that means any ad that breaks in is very loud and very annoying. Because this one has no sound, I can mute it and I know I won't miss anything---and I won't be annoyed by loud ads.
You are right, they are set against the movement. They are hydro-pneumatic, self restoring points on all of the loops. So when the trains travels over them, they get pushed across then self restore.
