The world famous ‘Jacobite Express’ train is quite possibly the most beautiful and scenic train journey anywhere.

Operating under various names and with different operators, The Jacobite steam train has been running every summer since 1984 and is currently operated by West Coast Railways.

It is also known as the ‘Jacobean Train’ and the ‘Harry Potter Steam Train’.

It covers part of the West Highland line in Scotland and is a huge hit with tourists, effortlessly combining legendary Scottish folklore, luxury travel and beautiful scenery.

The Glenfinnan Viaduct (pictured above) is perhaps best known from its use in the Harry Potter movies, and the Hogwart’s Express is simply another name for the same route.
