[MAIL] I'm in the 'Club Car' for breakfast and I've brought a spy thriller book to read, but there's no chance of me reading a single sentence.Not with scenery as spectacular as this.
I'm at a particularly nailbiting moment in the tome, too, but the breathtaking Scottish wilderness rolling past the north-bound Caledonian Sleeper I'm on keeps my eyes glued to the window.
The notion of 'world's greatest train journey' comes to mind as cloud-crowned mountains loom all around. Cliched. Yes. But this part of the journey along the West Highland Line, north of Glasgow — which includes Britain's highest and remotest railway station — Corrour - is most certainly a contender. This is, mark my very words, a far cry from my commuter service from Denmark Hill to London Victoria.
The Scottish odyssey begins on a dank February Friday night at London Euston. I'm giddy with excitement - I'm a huge fan of train travel and the Caledonian Sleeper is, by reputation, one of the best railway journeys Britain has to offer.
