The Jacobite: Britain's Best Train Journey (4K) 

Going on the Jacobite Express tomorrow, I am really excited as is my girlfriend. Hope the weather stays good for the trip.

I took this train in 2017 on my birthday! It was the best day of my life! I LOVE SCOTLAND!!

My wife and I took the Jacobite in October, 2012, and enjoyed it immensely. It was the first time I had ever been on a steam train, so it was quite the experience. My wife is about 1/2 Scot in ancestry, so she really got a kick out of our trip. We may get back in the future, when she want to go to Skye, the Orkneys, and maybe the Shetlands. Time will tell.

I remember doing this trip many times as a boy in the 60's hanging out the windows, eyes full of grit..!! Taking the train from Fort William to Mallaig, and then the MV "Loch Seaforth" to Kyle of Lochalsh. Class K1 61997 'MacCailin Mor' was always a favourite to haul the train. ;-)

The scenery is amazing

Just watched this video after seeing the journey on TV. Looks like a stunning journey so one to add to the list of places to visit. We are on holiday in Scotland in Sept 2020 so I think we will have to take this trip in. Cant wait. May even push the boat out and go first class.

Wow. What a beautiful place.

Watching that train cross Viaduct reminds me the only thing I ever made in woodwork class at school was a marble arch.

Excellent video, thanks for sharing! Oh how much I miss Scotland! Also you were quite lucky that it wasn't raining in Fort William...

Thank you Mike! We are going on the Jacobite next year! So excited! xx

A fantastic trip 🤩

@7:30 you just expect a flying car at any moment

It's probably the most beautifull place in the world

Scotland oh so beautiful

thank you very much. it reminded me my trip to the Highlands, have so pleasent memories of it

I live in America and my family lives in Scotland .. this made me feel like I was there! I'll see them soon .. I HOPE! Thank you!!!

Fabulous ,Many Thanks..

Fantastic video - love the sound of the train!

J'aime beaucoup les trains anciens et celui ci est particulièrement beau. Hâte de le voir en "vrai" 🚂

Thanks I will never be able to see this for real. Thank you so much xxxxxx

Great job! Many thanks.

Beautiful / Wonderful.

Your music is driving me crazy!

Looks like a great trip. Added to my todo list!

Awesome

I would have enjoyed seeing a view of the inside accommodations of the train, in addition to the lovely scenery.

My Father's first job was to shovel coal into the furnace of his Dad's train in Scotland. So Proud

Beautiful!

wow - love this. We just vlogged on this but we were just watching the viaduct and only saw a diesel! Lucky you.

We were supposed to be travelling on this train mid May but our coach tour to Scotland is now cancelled. Don’t hold much hope out for the second Scottish tour we booked for in September. Have to hope that the coach company is still running next year and we will try again.

What a spectacular train ride? And, that curved viaduct is a marvel to behold of fantastic, elegant redbrick built Victorian engineering in its simplicity in traversing the rugged terrain. You just have that sense that the designer of the viaduct of the time thought 'we can do this, no problem, with my brick-laying lads'. Is there any documentation on viaduct building one asks? Many thanks for a great video train ride.

Happy memories of our Jacobite ride in summer 2017

British Railways = mostly Hogwarts Express

Awesome. Gods Country.

My jacobite experience 3 weeks ago was memorable. 🤗

This is Awesome

I Love It a Lot

Excellent

What a great video. Very well done. Although I've lived in eastern Canada for 40 years I well remember childhood holidays in Fort William. Steam trains were in use everywhere in those days. Now they're special and full of nostalgia. Question please - what's the music you used in the background? Catchy tune that's stuck in my head.

Hello an thanks for this nice video.. I want to travel some times in the future. At moment it is a bit difficult to travel there die the covid entry regulation. What a nice traim

Train travel is the most Human friendly way to travel

Very nice video!!

Married on midsummer day in 1958 in the Cotswolds. Was on embarkation leave prior to RAF posting to Changi Singapore. Honeymoon began on night train from London to Edinburgh...sleeper with one up one down bunks! Spent time at Oban and travelled from Fort William to Mallaig for a trip to Skye. Mid June and the weather was wet for the whole time but nevertheless we did enjoy. Don't think it was called the Jacobite back then. First of my many mistakes in life.......married on the longest day and shortest night , and then a sleeper with single bunks for the first night.....but a man's a man for a' that!! Been awa' a long time ye ken, living in sub tropical sunny Queensland for last 50 years.

Very nice! Thumbs up 👍👍

HOGWARTS HOGWARTS HOGGY WARTY HOGWARTS TEACH US SOMETHING PLEASE!!! THATS THE BRIDGE FROM THE SECOND AND THIRD MOVIE AHHHHHH 💀💖💙💜❤️

Super paysage, la magie de l'Écosse 😢

What a dream come true

done this a few times,one time we left Ft William it was nice, by the time we got to Mallaig it was cold and snowing ,,,so dress warm just in case

🇬🇧🇬🇧The sound of that steam engine just goes deep into the heart and enhances it with relaxation and makes me feel like I am riding in that train ❤ 🇬🇧

My dream train 😍

Watched the jacobite train crossing the glenfinnan viaduct and now I can never look at a viaduct the same way again

Lovely, thank you! The place at 5:08 min. looks idyllic

Lovely..

There are loads of people on the hill near the Glenfinnian Viaduct

did this trip many years ago. It's very hard to obtain good pictures from the train due to the few open windows (doors only).

Steam train are amazing 😊 old memories

Did this in 2015. Similar weather. Would have been nice to include a little about Mallaig.

why didnt you shot the port town where it stops? That's the best part of the entire trip!

like the video very much .Take care.

Very good job - Arani Apparao Dilshuk Nagar Hyderabad

Sehr schönes Filmsche, macht Lust auf Mitfahren!

We just did this on the 25th of August 2021. When you do this journey just be prepared as there will likely be a lot of irritating and rude people on the train and you unfortunately will have to be a bit pushy to see the viaduct if that is what you are most interested in. We had this couple beside us in the front first class carriage who spent most of the time standing taking photos of each other and when a good view would come up the guy blocked the whole window with his body so he could get a photo with no regard to anyone else in the area. He was acting like an excited ten year old despite being in his 60’s. Nothing wrong with excitement but it shouldn’t impact other passengers. My wife missed the viaduct on the way out but got the best video you could possibly get on the way back. We are very polite so almost missed out so just be prepared for this. The staff are lovely but not too sure it’s worth the £200 we paid for our tickets as I think it was an extra £60 for first class. It is worth making the journey and the first class carriages are nice and old fashioned but you get the same experience in all carriages I’m sure.

Lovely trip and scenery, I did this trip quite awhile ago. Terrible musac let the engine do the talking please!

great thank you, what time did you arrive on this viaduct? (so i don't have to wait alle day to take a nice photo)

all that smoke made thomas so dark i almost did not recognize him

Ben Adnam a character in Patrick Robinson's spy thriller HMS Unseen took that trip. Do they still have daily service?

This video is stunning! How can I upload a 4K video on RU-vid? The quality of my video isn’t the same as on my iPhone. I hope you can help me :) xWhitney

Done this at weekend. Lovely scenery, but not much to do in mallaig for two hours.

Is that bridge structure very common in Britain? Sri Lanka also has a very similar bridge.

No Monument, no Mallaig?

Backing music spoils this.

Why no image inside the cabine

Hi Mike Really like you video of The Jacobite train journey. I am looking for a short video to use on our website to promote the Jacobite Railway. Next year we will take a group of around twenty people there and would like to bring more people to enjoy the experience. Could you provide me with footage? With kindest regards, Justin Templeton Events

The video is very well done, unfortunately the sound (wind noise) leaves to be desired. That could be fixed !

How old is this route

3:07 where is that located so I can sit on the grass and watch the train pass

doesnt seem to be too bad of a train, what snacks is on jacobite?

A trip to Hogwarts

Hi folks, we were wondering if you would mind if we used some of this excellent footage in a music video? Best wishes.

It reminds me Harry Potter series...

Hogwarts express 🤩🤩🤩

Nice little film of a beautiful trip. Shame about the truly awful jingle playing along behind the atmospheric sounds of steam, steel and wind.

Hogwarts is my home.

Why on earth is there any background music on this video,it's just completely unnecessary.

We will get there one day but it will be way after the WHO Cocid 19 pandemic.

Looks like those people are on their way to Hogwarts.

COULD YOU SCAN/FILM THE ENTIRE TRAIN LEAVING THE STATION WITHOUT EDITS - SO WE CAN GET THE COACH NUMBERS AND TYPE - PLEASE THANK YOU
