- Steam Days - West Highland Line, Scotland
Produced by BBC (1986) as "The Fishing Line".
www.bbc.co.uk .
Around the Lochs on the West Highland Line (between Fort William and Mallaig in Scotland, UK), which was threatened with closure before the year of this video production (1986), but Scotrail (the Scottish Division of British Rail) had other ideas and re-introduced a daily steam service (May to October) which is still going strong, and now known as "The Jacobite".

I remembered this when it was first aired. The BBC could produce good programmes back then.
The whole west highland lines are doing absolutely amazingly well! The Oban services are poised to double! Sprinter services on the Mallaig branch are well patronaged. Thank goodness the line was saved.
totally agree
The steam lives on with the West Highland Line with the Jacobite, the only steam service in this country which will regularly run, within a set time period obviously.
Sam i live in Cumbria and we have a weekly steam hauled service from June until the end of August it's called The Fellsman running.. on the Settle and Carlisle line..from Lancaster..Preston.. Blackburn..Clitheroe..it's normally fully booked throughout the season..Loco's used are 46115 'Scots Gardsman' 5690 'Leander' 45699 'Galatea' or LMS Black Five 44932. all these loco's are based in Carnforth at West Coast Railway Company HQ.
The intro for Steam Days is amazing
I was stuck for about 30 minutes while heading toward Inverness from Edinburgh. We stopped and backed up about a mile and sat for a wee bit. Then, after the snow was cleared, we went ahead. It was a wonderful time in the February 2008 trip through Scotland.
In case anyone is ever here asking about the song that they use for some of the scenic shots is called "The Highland Clearences" by Silly Wizard. I only say this because it took me ages to find out for myself! lol
Aye, same, btw, if you ever find out the songs at 15:50 and 23:50 could you let me know, been after them for a while.
Some call the cull: 'The Highland Clearances'. Heigh ho! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Clearances Stay free, F E. R 😎

My uncle Jim Matthew used to be a driver on the steam locomotives on the west highland line in the old days to Oban you used to have to go tender first great in the summer but not so good in the winter I ended up his fireman when I started with BR ON DIESELS CLASS 37s 1974
I love this show my favorite episode is quest for speed

Muito bom
spare athought for the men who actually built the ine
Folks. You'll get better contrast if you actually make pic near 1/2 darker until the green foliage gets really more green, the gloss on metal is more glossy, and the black really black. Takes a while to get used to. But you'll eventually begin to see it ....M
I would like to know if I can get Steam Days on DVD?
