Station 55
Thursday 6th February
Arrived 12:45 on a train from Fort William.
Glenfinnan station was opened in 1901 on the Mallaig Extension of the West Highland Railway. The nearby movie-famous Glenfinnan Viaduct means hundreds of tourists visit the station each day in Summer but visiting in February meant we had the place (almost) to ourselves. The Jacobite Steam train visits here in summer and the station building houses a railway museum. Rudy took a walk to the nearby viaduct & monument on a surprisingly nice February day meaning he got to picnic looking out over Loch Shiel!
