The Jacobite: Britain's Best Train Journey (4K)

- The only word I could think of to describe this journey was simply, breathtaking. We were very lucky with the weather in July (2018) and as such the backdrop to the 42-mile journey was indeed breathtaking. Harry Potter fans will immediately identify the Glenfinnan Viaduct, which come up about half way along the route. If you want to see the Highlands in all their glory, this is the way to do it. Filmed in 4K on an iPhone 7+. Runtime 7 min 32 secs. Copyright (c) Mike Smith, Two Minute Heroes. 26 July 2018

My wife and I took the Jacobite in October, 2012, and enjoyed it immensely. It was the first time I had ever been on a steam train, so it was quite the experience.
My wife is about 1/2 Scot in ancestry, so she really got a kick out of our trip. We may get back in the future, when she want to go to Skye, the Orkneys, and maybe the Shetlands. Time will tell.
Haste ye back Carl. Glad you enjoyed your time!
I took this train in 2017 on my birthday! It was the best day of my life! I LOVE SCOTLAND!!
Going on the Jacobite Express tomorrow, I am really excited as is my girlfriend. Hope the weather stays good for the trip.
I remember doing this trip many times as a boy in the 60's hanging out the windows, eyes full of grit..!!
Taking the train from Fort William to Mallaig, and then the MV "Loch Seaforth" to Kyle of Lochalsh. Class K1 61997 'MacCailin Mor' was always a favourite to haul the train. ;-)
The scenery is amazing
Thank you Mike! We are going on the Jacobite next year! So excited! xx
I live in America and my family lives in Scotland .. this made me feel like I was there! I'll see them soon .. I HOPE! Thank you!!!
Just watched this video after seeing the journey on TV. Looks like a stunning journey so one to add to the list of places to visit. We are on holiday in Scotland in Sept 2020 so I think we will have to take this trip in. Cant wait. May even push the boat out and go first class.
Did this in 2017 Marvellous
Oof, this didn’t age well mate
Mm
Excellent video, thanks for sharing! Oh how much I miss Scotland! Also you were quite lucky that it wasn't raining in Fort William...
Watching that train cross Viaduct reminds me the only thing I ever made in woodwork class at school was a marble arch.
thank you very much. it reminded me my trip to the Highlands, have so pleasent memories of it
Thanks I will never be able to see this for real. Thank you so much xxxxxx
Fantastic video - love the sound of the train!
Wow. What a beautiful place.
@7:30 you just expect a flying car at any moment
Great job! Many thanks.
wow - love this. We just vlogged on this but we were just watching the viaduct and only saw a diesel! Lucky you.
Fabulous ,Many Thanks..
Looks like a great trip. Added to my todo list!
You from britian if your not it's a fortune here
@@fx6r I live in America. My brother in law made the movie, and we visit regularly.
It's probably the most beautifull place in the world
J'aime beaucoup les trains anciens et celui ci est particulièrement beau. Hâte de le voir en "vrai" 🚂
My Father's first job was to shovel coal into the furnace of his Dad's train in Scotland. So Proud
Beautiful!
Scotland oh so beautiful
Beautiful / Wonderful.
A fantastic trip 🤩
We were supposed to be travelling on this train mid May but our coach tour to Scotland is now cancelled. Don’t hold much hope out for the second Scottish tour we booked for in September. Have to hope that the coach company is still running next year and we will try again.
Very nice video!!
I would have enjoyed seeing a view of the inside accommodations of the train, in addition to the lovely scenery.
The carriages are old British Rail stock dating back to the 1960’s or before.. don’t expect luxury just enjoy the experience. Look out for the Harry Potter spotters as you exit the viaduct… you can see the on this clip..
standard Mark 1 and 2 ex BR coaches Debbie. The cost wasn't bad either to get a return from Fort William. Best wishes, Mike.
This is Awesome
Happy memories of our Jacobite ride in summer 2017
Very nice! Thumbs up 👍👍
Excellent
Awesome. Gods Country.
My jacobite experience 3 weeks ago was memorable. 🤗
Awesome
I Love It a Lot
What a great video. Very well done. Although I've lived in eastern Canada for 40 years I well remember childhood holidays in Fort William. Steam trains were in use everywhere in those days. Now they're special and full of nostalgia. Question please - what's the music you used in the background? Catchy tune that's stuck in my head.
Thanks Andrew.
Your music is driving me crazy!
So forget about the views from this train ride. Either turn off the volume or you could have stopped watching this video. His video, he can do whatever he wants.
@@JMarieCAlove and you are overreacting to a simple comment. Get a life!
What a spectacular train ride? And, that curved viaduct is a marvel to behold of fantastic, elegant redbrick built Victorian engineering in its simplicity in traversing the rugged terrain. You just have that sense that the designer of the viaduct of the time thought 'we can do this, no problem, with my brick-laying lads'. Is there any documentation on viaduct building one asks? Many thanks for a great video train ride.
I received a prompt from Christopher125 registering a reply to my comment, which strangely I don't see here. Christopher informs me that viaduct is 'made of concrete', and therefore is merely faced with red brickwork.
Anon A. Mouse can't see any red brick ?
I assumed it to be built of (red) brick that would have weathered and got sooted and discoloured over time.
@@JoseighBlogs it's concrete.
Un reinforced concrete
There are loads of people on the hill near the Glenfinnian Viaduct
What a dream come true
Hello an thanks for this nice video..
I want to travel some times in the future.
At moment it is a bit difficult to travel there die the covid entry regulation. What a nice traim
done this a few times,one time we left Ft William it was nice, by the time we got to Mallaig it was cold and snowing ,,,so dress warm just in case
did this trip many years ago. It's very hard to obtain good pictures from the train due to the few open windows (doors only).
Train travel is the most Human friendly way to travel
Watched the jacobite train crossing the glenfinnan viaduct and now I can never look at a viaduct the same way again
Married on midsummer day in 1958 in the Cotswolds. Was on embarkation leave prior to RAF posting to Changi Singapore. Honeymoon began on night train from London to Edinburgh...sleeper with one up one down bunks! Spent time at Oban and travelled from Fort William to Mallaig for a trip to Skye. Mid June and the weather was wet for the whole time but nevertheless we did enjoy. Don't think it was called the Jacobite back then. First of my many mistakes in life.......married on the longest day and shortest night , and then a sleeper with single bunks for the first night.....but a man's a man for a' that!! Been awa' a long time ye ken, living in sub tropical sunny Queensland for last 50 years.
British Railways = mostly Hogwarts Express
like the video very much .Take care.
why didnt you shot the port town where it stops? That's the best part of the entire trip!
My dream train 😍
Steam train are amazing 😊 old memories
Lovely..
🇬🇧🇬🇧The sound of that steam engine just goes deep into the heart and enhances it with relaxation and makes me feel like I am riding in that train ❤ 🇬🇧
Did this in 2015. Similar weather. Would have been nice to include a little about Mallaig.
HOGWARTS HOGWARTS HOGGY WARTY HOGWARTS TEACH US SOMETHING PLEASE!!! THATS THE BRIDGE FROM THE SECOND AND THIRD MOVIE AHHHHHH 💀💖💙💜❤️
lol
Lovely, thank you! The place at 5:08 min. looks idyllic
I think that’s Monor. My sister went there in August 2020 and she said that the sand was pure white
Did you mean Morar, near Mallaig?
Super paysage, la magie de l'Écosse 😢
We just did this on the 25th of August 2021. When you do this journey just be prepared as there will likely be a lot of irritating and rude people on the train and you unfortunately will have to be a bit pushy to see the viaduct if that is what you are most interested in. We had this couple beside us in the front first class carriage who spent most of the time standing taking photos of each other and when a good view would come up the guy blocked the whole window with his body so he could get a photo with no regard to anyone else in the area. He was acting like an excited ten year old despite being in his 60’s. Nothing wrong with excitement but it shouldn’t impact other passengers. My wife missed the viaduct on the way out but got the best video you could possibly get on the way back. We are very polite so almost missed out so just be prepared for this. The staff are lovely but not too sure it’s worth the £200 we paid for our tickets as I think it was an extra £60 for first class. It is worth making the journey and the first class carriages are nice and old fashioned but you get the same experience in all carriages I’m sure.
Helpful insights! Thank you 👍
Very good job - Arani Apparao Dilshuk Nagar Hyderabad
great thank you, what time did you arrive on this viaduct? (so i don't have to wait alle day to take a nice photo)
No Monument, no Mallaig?
all that smoke made thomas so dark i almost did not recognize him
Lovely trip and scenery, I did this trip quite awhile ago. Terrible musac let the engine do the talking please!
Sehr schönes Filmsche, macht Lust auf Mitfahren!
Done this at weekend. Lovely scenery, but not much to do in mallaig for two hours.
Did this three weeks ago - why didn’t you go on the boat trip at Mallaig?
Ben Adnam a character in Patrick Robinson's spy thriller HMS Unseen took that trip. Do they still have daily service?
Normal trains go there every day MM K
Why no image inside the cabine
This video is stunning!
How can I upload a 4K video on UA-cam? The quality of my video isn’t the same as on my iPhone.
I hope you can help me :) xWhitney
you need to verify your youtube channel (see your account settings) and then you can upload 4K videos
Two Minute Heroes thanks! 🙏🏽❤️
Is that bridge structure very common in Britain? Sri Lanka also has a very similar bridge.
we have a few viaducts like it around Britain. Ribblehead is another popular one on the settle-carlisle line
@@burnleyfan101 cool. Didn't know they are called viaducts and there are so many of them. Sri Lanka has only one. It's called Ella bridge.
@@burnleyfan101 This viaduct was constructed by Robert McAlpine & Sons, headed by Robert McAlpine, nicknamed "Concrete Bob" for his innovative use of mass concrete. It opened in April 1901.

How old is this route
Backing music spoils this.
doesnt seem to be too bad of a train, what snacks is on jacobite?
afternoon tea, alcohol,
3:07 where is that located so I can sit on the grass and watch the train pass

Hi Mike
Really like you video of The Jacobite train journey.
I am looking for a short video to use on our website to promote the Jacobite Railway. Next year we will take a group of around twenty people there and would like to bring more people to enjoy the experience. Could you provide me with footage?
With kindest regards,
Justin
Templeton Events
Hi Justin, please link to my video if you like ! Best wishes, Mike
@@burnleyfan101 Thank you very much Mike. I'd need to try and capture it, as need to shorten as it will sit on the top of the event page as a video banner. What do you think?
Thanks again for your time on this.
Justin
I can Wetransfer you a copy if you leave your email on here Justin, hows that sound? Mike
Hi Mike, You are a gentleman. That will work perfectly. We are currently working on our new site so it may be a number of weeks before I will use your content but really handy to have it available for when we need it.
Thanks again and all the best as always,
Justin
just let me know if you need a copy Justing and I'll send it on. Best wishes
Mike
The video is very well done, unfortunately the sound (wind noise) leaves to be desired. That could be fixed !
I like it raw
It reminds me Harry Potter series...
It is The Harry Potter Train
Manikanta Padma the Jacobite is the train they used for the hogwarts express.
Hi folks, we were wondering if you would mind if we used some of this excellent footage in a music video? Best wishes.
yeah go for it. Just add Two Minute Heroes as a credit somewheres. Best wishes, Mike

We will get there one day but it will be way after the WHO Cocid 19 pandemic.
A trip to Hogwarts
100 pipers advertisement
Hogwarts express 🤩🤩🤩
Why on earth is there any background music on this video,it's just completely unnecessary.
Hogwarts is my home.
samee
Nice little film of a beautiful trip. Shame about the truly awful jingle playing along behind the atmospheric sounds of steam, steel and wind.
COULD YOU SCAN/FILM THE ENTIRE TRAIN LEAVING THE STATION WITHOUT EDITS - SO WE CAN GET THE COACH NUMBERS AND TYPE - PLEASE THANK YOU
Well, Seen as the video was made in 2018, And you commenting in 2019, I would think not, And, If your looking to sit in MK2s, I can tell you, That they are changed quite more than you think, e.g, Coach Exams / Safety Testing.
Hogwarts Express
Harry fckin Potter train
Looks like those people are on their way to Hogwarts.
briansivley2001 I haven’t read Harry Potter in a long ass time but I do believe Hogwarts is canonically located in Scotland. I did see a Wizards Welcomed sign at the beginning of the video so they probably get told that a lot! 😉
Great! I can go to hogwarts😌
Forza horizon 4 anyone?
Great video. Dreadful muzac.
The real JEWS DEVELOPED THIS JOURNEY JACOBITES IS SOCALLED BLACK HAD THIS LAND AS A TRADE ROUTE
Stop talking crap Verk one
Dreadful dreadful music.
