Martin bath Tuesday
15th of August okay it's the final week
it's the final week fortunately we saved
the best way to laughed but we do have
to leave Glasgow which is Santana head
north into the highlands
but we're literally starting the week
literally physically the first video
this week is starting on a high with um
with our five points
hi station in rhythm that's mainly what
we're doing police know today you say it
is the least Lewis dish to the tradies
[Music]
have you been enjoying the scenery
they haven't really hasn't really got to
touch me I can get go look at that
let's get that
you have to be careful not to upset some
Scot
apparently take a look with that power
is percent lack of salt
sugar the Pete
burgundy Street or we Chinese train
dispatcher only lovely please mother
[Music]
Erica and Talbott I don't you're
thinking you're thinking is this a
Birmingham New Street you know this this
train would have been dispatched on time
right delays up here we are we are
how many minutes late are we about 13 so
[Laughter]
Peter could sum up the Scottish
Highlands by train in one sentence
slightly better than Birmingham but
we've come in on the right hand side
it's not left hand running notice that
it's not left I'm running
where are we
we're putting in the tearoom I got two
free skirts is it cute yeah it's got
some cool old pictures on the wall and I
took a shot of some funding like old
handwritten letters about the railway
yeah
[Music]
we're coming in to pull the crickets
fantastic that will store
so many things to mention are you
getting it 15 second topic platform
restart is only open during the summer
it's an old station supposing the
sequences that got reopened in the 80s
the platform was made out of old
sleepers there's no lighting on them on
the Holt is a little hot so they can't
stop train to
during darkness so basically it's a
summer only station
it's a gravel platform in croakin
mountain is nearby so it's used a lot by
Ramblers and walkers just going to jump
on the platform real quick
that's it
what you need to keep an eye out for
Turkey along this section of track in
2009 10 there was a derailment right
about here when a train hit a boulder
that fallen down and another whether
they were put in before after but you
have got these all equals avalanches or
stone signals it's like the example
similar form makes it they were wires
along the track here that had to be the
boulder comes down the mountain it hits
the wires and they're drop down you have
all these avalanche equals semaphore
signals which war drivers if there's a
boulder or rock on the line I think
unique oh there's like a thing like a
double of a wooden hammer and - whatever
I'm really struggling with that also
have another interesting fact under been
broken
and the look itself is what they call
the hollow mounting there is a power
station a kilometer underground
on the power station they have a fitness
center as well
open a van half an hour
diction is really forget the rain gear
on the town of urban nature it's not
even any distance it's the station takes
you right into the heart of the town
you've got the harbor
you've got shopping you've got
restaurants it is really really scenic
today is a little bit gray and rainy but
you can imagine on a sudden sunlit day
how stunning the harbor would be one of
the main attractions is McCaig Tower
which was built in the 1800s buying the
McCaig family has a kind of focal point
for the town and it was a way to support
local people to get jobs and to be
employed there are gardens and a
stunning view from the tower as well
unfortunately I don't think we have time
to climb up the hill
[Music]
definitely extremely extremely extremely
cute okay
wonderful okay so good
for you there are several people perhaps
we're not already stinks what we are
doing is making a walking connection
between two stations rather go back to
Korean Larry changing for the leg line
there we're going to walk between
syndrome lower and upper children wait
is it lower tuned room and children
upper it's syndrome lower
what what did I physically don't know
how to express yeah how amazing the
scenery is and so just by myself
laughing because it's like it's
ridiculous it's ridiculously what the
scenery over there and they're slightly
coming out of the trees this is the
lower station our night gonna walk up
the hill to the upper station dude let's
do that
[Applause]

time to find room which also has the
Caledonian suite huh

it's quite nice
and very quiet so there's no dot matrix
indicator out of this station house
there's also no 3G there's no 2g I've
got GPRS no 4G no Wi-Fi nothing cut off
so you don't know whether the train is
coming or Council order I didn't even
see a Help button
Wow what did you just hear in the
distance didn't didn't didn't didn't
we didn't plan that that just happened
that is to portion up the train that's
going back to open so the train is at
Korean Eric down there where it splits
and the open portion goes first and then
the Fort William the like section comes
next so we know that's how we know that
