A busy scene at FORT WILLIAM station on 17th May. It's been a fine, dry day & crowds of passengers stream off the train, following a return trip to Mallaig .It's been steam-hauled & the engine can be seen arriving tender first, there being no turntable at Mallaig.
This steam enterprise is one of Britain's most successful & it pays to book in advance if you intend using the service which runs Mid-May to late October Mon to Friday (extra services operate in peak summer).

On the left, the overnight sleeper service from Euston, which arrived at 0955, idles its time in the other platform, awaiting its return journey to London at 1950.                        Meanwhile, once detached from its coaches, the steam engine returns to the nearby sheds, its work over for the day, shortly after 4 o'clock.
