TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"If you’re into railway scenery, don’t miss taking a ScotRail train along the West Highland Main Line, which runs from Glasgow to Oban and Mallaig. In addition to lochs, steep mountains and heather moors, you can also spot the Glenfinnan Viaduct, the famous curved bridge on the route to Hogwarts in Harry Potter!"
"Don’t expect catering to be a sure thing just because you’re on a long-distance route. Some routes have a trolley service (albeit with limited selection), and First Class passengers only get a free hot drink or water and a shortbread. Check the ScotRail website for which trains have a trolley in operation."

"Just a short walk from the station, the Brunswick Inn first opened in 1842 and is the first purpose-built railway pub in England. With its distinctive wedge shape and an interior packed with railway memorabilia, it’s worth a visit for a nostalgic pint or two. For coffee, head into town to No. 10 Coffee House or the Bookcafé in the Quarter, both great independent options and only a short 15-minute walk from the station.
