(2) Royal Scotsman over the top! Heading away towards Nairn at 16.08 is GBRf Class 66 no. 66743 with the 1H90 12.08 Aviemore to Dundee, via Inverness, Keith & Aberdeen "Royal Scotsman" luxury Land Cruise train. Bringing up the rear is this unique (For the UK) open veranda car no. 99965 - the former BR Pullman car no. 319. This exclusive train carries, I believe, no more than 20 or so passengers, each paying a significant amount of money for the privilege. The young lady standing at the entrance to the open door is posing for her photo taken by one of her fellow travellers. They'll have a view from a train that very few rail travellers in the UK will be able to enjoy.
