Highland-Highlight Nr. 1: Cairngorms 🏔🏔️🥰🥰 After some years the mountain railway (highest railway in UK & Scotlands only funicular) is running again, after the integrity issues have been solved. Most people going up today are there for bird-watching. Not much else to do up there - you can't leave the top station due to strict conservation rules. Well you could hike up and go down. There's a regular bus from/to Aviemore to the lower station, which drives through thick forest. #MostlyHorsealess

After an exciting day time to pick up my luggage (which starts falling apart 🥲🥲) and finally head in the direction of home, that is south along the Highland mainline. Why didn't anybody tell me earlier how nice UK and especially Scotland is? 🥺🥺 #MostlyHorsealess

Good morning from London 🎡🎡 Because WestCoast Mainline was closed the Caledonian Sleeper had to be diverted via Edinburgh and EastCoast Mainline. Seemingly there's no way from this direction to Euston, so the train first goes through the city to Wembley to reverse there (that'll be fun to map 😅😅). Arrival still on time. Overall quiet and comfortable but I'm either getting to old for these overnight seat journeys or it's just the exhaustion after all these days. Who knows ... #MostlyHorsealess

Alton is the end of the line for SWR, but Mid-Hants-Railways operates the Watercress-line from here to Alresford. 🚂🚂 The line has, as per name, been built to bring the local growing green to London. At Ropley you can have look at the shed etc. - and yes, this is the original Kings Cross bridge!
