    In August 2017, I decided it was time to take on Britain's highest mountain: Ben Nevis. To make it more interesting, I invited my friend Andrew, who hates climbing. This is his story...

    Back in the 1750s, the old Julian calendar was reformed and the Gregorian calendar was brought in, but the residents of Burghead have continued to celebrate the ‘old Hogmanay’ on the 11th January to this very day with the Burning of the Clavie. The clavie, traditionally a wooden barrel filled with staves, is paraded through the town and up to the top of a local hill where it will burn well in to the next day.

    In the far north of Scotland, among the rugged Highlands, is an inlet of the North Sea where half a dozen giant oil rigs are parked. Some have a skeleton crew still on board, others are left rusting. But what are they doing there? I went to the Cromarty Firth to find out..

    Virgin Trains service from London Euston to Glasgow Central, Scotland in a very empty First Class section; Travelling on the 645 km long West Coast Main Line in 4 hours and 31 minutes; Calling at Warrington Bank Quay, Wigan North Western, Preston, Lancaster, and Carlisle; Train service is operated by a 9-car long Pendolino 390 016 "Virgin Champion" (British Rail Class 390); Train attendants serve free food and free drinks (also alcoholic ones) two times during the journey

    A magical summer night's journey from Fort William to London on the Caledonian Sleeper train, showing the sleeper compartments, the lounge car and the wonderful West Highland scenery on a summer's evening. For more photos, practical information & how to buy tickets see https://www.seat61.com/deerstalker.htm. Includes departure from Ft William, Monessie Gorge, Loch Treig, Rannoch Moor, Corrour summit, the horseshoe curve, waking up in England, arrival at London Euston and more. Ft William depart 19:50, London arrive around 07:50. Runs daily except Saturdays all year round except 24, 25, 26 December. Fares from £85 with a bed in a 2-bed sleeper, from £135 with a first class single-berth.

    In this video from June 2018, I take a joyride on Caledonian Sleeper's Fort William to London train - the Deerstalker. Next summer, these old trains will be history, as Caledonian Sleeper usher in brand new, class-leading trains on this route. Come with me and enjoy the ride down to London from the Scottish Highlands via the iconic West Highland Line. (Sorry about the weather - nothing is guaranteed in Scotland even in the middle of summer!)

    Found myself at Innotrans 2018, where the new train that will come to the Glasgow Subway in 2020 was on display, and it seemed rude not to make a quick video about it! The trains will be fully wheelchair accessible (using St Enoch and Govan stations), have 4 cars instead of 3, oh and you can look right out of the front of them due to a lack of driver ... (A longer video with what I'm doing with Siemens to follow!) More details here: https://www.globalrailnews.com/2018/0..
