My wife and I are planning an alternative route from Scarborough to Thurso later this year.
We've got a disabled railcard, and I've got a free first class and free standard class rewards ticket.
We're looking at the Freedom of Scotland Travelpass (4 from 8 days), with the following plan:
Day 1: Scarborough-York-Edinburgh-Glasgow (EDB-GLC/Q via a route I've not gone before) times to confirm depending on when free tickets available
Day 2 (Day 1 FoST):
Glasgow Q Street - Oban 0821-1127
Oban - Crainlarich 1211-1333
Crainlarich - Mallaig 1424-1743
Day 3 (Day 2 FoST):
Ferry to Armadale 0750-0820 (CM18)
601 bus to Broadford 0920-0949
916 bus to Kyle of Lochalsh 1058-1114
Kyle of Lochalsh - Dingwall 1208-1408
Dingwall - Thurso 1437-1749
Days 4-8 (Thurso)
Day 9 (Day 3 FoST)
Thurso - Inverness 0834-1223
Inverness - Aberdeen 1246-1455
Aberdeen - Edinburgh 1602-1831
Day 10 (Day 4 FoST)
AM - perhaps some branch lines
PM - Edinburgh-York-Scarborough
Anyone see any problems here? Inverness on Day 9 might be tight from previous experience but then can look at this.
Am I right in saying the bus and ferry are covered through the pass?
