After many years dreaming about it , I have finally taken the plunge and will soon fulfil my ambition of travelling the lines to Wick/Thurso/Kyle and Aberdeen from Inverness. I will be travelling mid April. I have purchased the Highland Rover ticket. I will reach Inverness via the Highland Chieftain.
I will be travelling alone. I will be staying at a hotel in Central Inverness.
Any tips, be it eateries as well as recommendations to see places at these extremities? Probably have no more than a couple of hours max in each of these places. Will the trains be busy on these lines mid April? Certainly not high season! Do the 158s have declassified 1st class sections?
I also intend to travel on a couple of heritage railways, the Strathspey as well as the Keith and Dufftown.
Thanks in advance
