  • Can't help but think about the people that laid these tracks, built the bridges, and forged through rock to make tunnels. Remarkable achievement!

    Lovely scenery but can we please get rid of the music and have the sounds of the train instead. Captions giving station names would be helpful too. Note some comments regarding sun glare but we wouldn’t get the beautiful autumn colours if filmed in summer when the sun is higher in the sky.

    I don't want music, i want train sounds!
  • I feel less alone knowing lots of other people also find this relaxing I didn't know this existed until i searched for it myself Im so glad I did Thank you for doing this
  • Nice video. It would be good to see more of the same route in different seasons and different lighting conditions. Personally, I would prefer the ambient sound of the engine to the music on the soundtrack.
  • Reading the comments, so many people don't enjoy the music.. I love the music that you picked, very relaxing and calming. I do agree about shooting the video into the sun, but you can't change mother nature. If the train was heading in the opposite direction, the video would be perfect. All in all I loved your creation here, and I really enjoyed the music you picked for it.. I would also like to hear the real train sounds, many do half music and half real train sound. That would keep some of the music haters happy. (and us music lovers also) I liked it a lot!! thank you!!!
  • @DougDurando
    This is just what I needed 😊 love the music!
  • Lovely video. The very best bits come in the second half of the journey, as the train travels ever deeper into mountainous Highland terrain. So relaxing to watch.
  • Man this is sooo lovely seeing the sun rising slowly Wow I find sunrises more relaxing than sunsets~
  • @AndrewG1989
    I like Scotland because it’s got the best scenic railways in the UK.
  • @NeverRubARhubarb
    And what better way to bring out all those autumn colours than a dull, overcast day. Geniuses.
  • Such a lovely view. I certainly would have preferred hearing the sound of the train over the music. Other than that lovely video.
  • @MegaRetr
    Beautiful scenery and I really enjoyed the music too.)
  • Amazing views. Loved just sitting and taking it all in. Could I ask that the music be removed in the future!
  • @StarchildMagic
    Breathtaking country. I would love to ride this line for real someday.
  • Totally agree. Get rid of the music and lets hear the train. We train lovers need our train sounds.

    I notice there are four videos in this series so far, so I hope there will be more to come? Highly enjoyable, to say the least. 🐨🇦🇺
