The West highland line is known as a Scotland's most Beautiful Railway, however most people visiting the scottish highlands via the west highland line don't realise that the west highland line actually has two branches on to Fort William & Mallaig and one to Oban in Argyle and Bute. So that is what we are doing this week, we are taking Scotrail on one of their Class 156 Super Sprinter train to Oban in Argyle and Bute in Scotland on the west Highland line from Glasgow Queen street railway station.
This is a comprehensive self funded Trip report travel vlog & rail flight review of Scotrail on the West Highland Line from Glasgow Queen Street Rail Station to Oban Rail Station.

Two clean Scotrail windows! I’ve got to agree, the Oban branch is a stunner. Great vid as always.

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

Thanks Tim, your support means a lot. You’re right it is an amazing route.

Hello there Dom, as always a great video I just wanted to suggest u a train trip in Romania, it's full of beautiful destinations like Bucharest,Brasov and Sinaia. I hope you're going to read this message :)

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

I'll check it out! I definitely want to do some train rides around Europe so any suggestions are helpful.

@armychap007 3 месяца назад

Great video as always Dom. You had a stunning day to experience this route and captured the beauty of Argyll and Bute perfectly. Nice to see some familiar places and I never knew that Dalmally had such a pretty station.

Amazing scenery. This is a journey for my bucketlist.

Great timing for this video to appear, I've just been booked to play a music festival on Iona so I'll be needing to take a train from Glasgow to Oban on the way there very soon! Can't wait to see it for myself

Thank you, things are slow going now but here is hoping 😁 thanks for your support.

@kevinellis8869 3 месяца назад

Thank you for showing us what we missed, we had an eight day travel pass a few years ago but it was when ScotRail were operating a reduced timetable and several hours in Oban with a late return to Glasgow QS wasn't an option due to onward connections. We'll have to try again.

Great video and yet another line I want to explore. Thanks to watching your videos, I just got home from my own mini holiday. I went down to Glasgow stayed a couple of nights and did the Glasgow to Dumfries line passing though the beautiful Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway countryside. I will have to go back down and explore that area more, including doing the Stranraer railway when it reopens

Lovely trip Dom. That scenery hypnotises me. Beautiful

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

Glad you liked it. 😄 It is a very beautiful part of the Scottish countryside.

@Abeyptfc 3 месяца назад

Nice one Dom, if you ever find yourself up on Skye or Uig then give me a shout👍💪

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

For sure I will do, thanks

@paulharvey9149 3 месяца назад

I almost hoped you were going via Dunblane and the bus to Callander and Killin - paralleling the original Caledonian Railway route to Oban, and rejoining the train at Crianlarich; or alternatively it could be cycled, though you might prefer going from north to south for the generally downhill gradient! In fact, you could even take the twice-daily bus from Oban to Fort William, that parallels the former Connel Ferry to Ballachulish branch - most of whose stations also remain in a variety of guises. Connel Ferry Bridge was of course built for the railway, then shared with road traffic for many years - and its not so many years since the railway deck of the bridge over Loch Creran was replaced by a road deck - the piers of this bridge still being original! So many possibilities, so little time.

…………..don’t put ideas in my head 🫠 Great suggestions, going to have to look into that now 😅

@janinehawkins9565 3 месяца назад

Definitely on my wishlist, excellent as always Dom 👌

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

Glad you enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

@OldWhistler7743 3 месяца назад

That’s definitely one I would love to try. I’ve previously driven up to Cainryan port, but Oban would be too far for me. So a train to Glasgow then that train to Oban would be perfect. And that Premier… building next to stations is similar the old Midland Hotels that were built to serve the rail passengers 😀

@ross14wpc42 3 месяца назад

Another stunning journey, despite the rain 😊

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

Yes it was!

@daviehealy29 3 месяца назад

Always go to Oban every year using the train love the journey up on it

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

It’s a very beautiful route! It’s a great place for a holiday also.

@kevanhubbard9673 3 месяца назад

A way i use to like doing it was off to Tyndrum Upper and walk to Tyndrum Lower then the Oban line.Only works off the sleeping train from England which carries a day coach from Edinburgh to Fort William and maybe a few others as Oban/Malliag is the same train for much of the journey.

@176MarkW 3 месяца назад

Very nice! I've been to Oban before but accessed it via road, however the rail journey looks spectacular. Hope the Premier Inn was good (review video of your stay, by any chance??)

@WVislandia 3 месяца назад

And heading to any of the many islands served from Oban by Caledonian MacBrayne - just absolutely stunning! Thanks for taking us along.

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

Your right! I might just have to do some of those CalMac routes.

@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne 3 месяца назад

40+ years ago i did numerous 'All Line Rovers' in my youth. Now I might be wrong, but I am quite sure I caught a sleeper to Oban.

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

I’m not aware of any sleeper services to Obama but may simply have been before my time. It’s a good idea though.

@jmobem5383 3 месяца назад

Temporarily some years ago Fort William was inaccessible so for several weeks the sleeper service terminated and commenced in Edinburgh. Later it returned to Fort William.

@NCR5309 2 месяца назад

The weekly sleeper was scrapped in September 1965. There was a trial undertaken in 2016, on 3 consecutive Friday evenings only, with a view to possible future reintroduction on a regular basis… truth is there was engineering works those weekends precluding Fort William! This had nothing to do with storm damage on the WCML which coincidently occurred around same time trial planned. Oban still features in discussions on future sleeper expansion..

@buzzukfiftythree 3 месяца назад

Great video, many thanks Dom. The scenery is fantastic, but I do wish Scotrail would put some better rolling stock on their Oban and Mallaig services. I’m sure it would be worth it financially. Travelling the route in a Mk3 IC carriage would be a fantastic experience, rather than chugging along in a relatively noisy Class 156. Experience in other countries with mountainous scenery shows that if you provide good quality trains on scenic routes, more people will use them. Scotland has, IMHO, some of the best scenery in the World, so come on Scotrail, please improve your trains.

@WorldWide_Dom 3 месяца назад

Totally agree! There are many other types of newer rolling stock that would be great for this line. Here is hoping it happens sooner rather than later.
