1:Lamington Viaduct
2:Conwy Valley is shut.
I thought of both of those and I've got a lot of scottish trips planned! Doing the Far North line next month.
Nice idea though lol
Well, a nice idea anyway.
I remember that you're doing the FNL. When heading northbound, it's good to have a seat that faces east towards Aberdeen. That way, you'll get the views of the Beauly Firth, the Dornoch Firth, Loch Fleet, the Moray Firth and the River Helmsdale. Also, some of the 158s have a declassified First Class area with plug sockets, so you might want to sit there (although you might want a reservation, though this might not be necessary).
You can still do Llanfair PG, though, can't you? So, why not try doing Colwyn Bay, Llandudno Junction, Llandudno, Deganwy (a request stop), Conwy (a request stop), Llanfair PG, Valley and Holyhead? Gives you some scenic route coverage with a couple of request stops and a famous station.
