Stunning photos of West Highland Line
Published 11 May 2012 09:30
SPECTACULAR new postcards that will be offered to customers as free souvenirs of the West Highland Lines.
Award-winning photographer Norman McNab has provided four stunning images for the postcards, which ScotRail's catering staff will hand out to customers on trains.
Readers of independent travel magazine Wanderlust has voted the West
Highland Line, which runs through Dumbarton, as the world's top rail journey for three years in a row
It is the third edition of the complimentary postcards - which were first
introduced in 2009 thanks to funding from ScotRail, HITRANS and the Friends
of the West Highland Lines.
Graeme Macfarlan, ScotRail's marketing manager, said: "The postcards give
our customers a souvenir of their journey that they can share with their
loved ones back home."
This year's images show a Mallaig-Glasgow train near Upper Tyndrum, a
Glasgow-Oban train in mountains near Crianlarich, the Caledonian Sleeper
crossing a snowy Rannoch Moor and a Mallaig-Glasgow train on Glenfinnan
Viaduct, made famous by the Harry Potter films.
Fraser McDonald, secretary of the Friends of the West Highland Lines, said:
"We are delighted to be able to offer a fresh set of images for the fourth
year of the postcards being available from catering trolleys on ScotRail
trains."
