Why do people reply who dont have a clue about what you are asking!!!

If i had seen it why would I be asking if one ran?
Think theres one comes to Thurso once or twice a year.
Occasionally a steam train does go up on the north line (very expensive). Cannot remember where I was looking at it but it was about £1000 for 3 or 4 days travelling on the steam train in Scotland, you did get around a fair bit of Scotland and food is included.
Yes, you are right Pat; I quite fancy the trip - if I win the lottery that is! The year 2011 I think....... http://www.youtube.com/embed/uz8Z4JG...l=0&autoplay=1 You also get to hear some birds, probably wondering what on earth is going on!

Think yer maybe looking fer this: http://www.railtourguide.com/uk-rail...l-voyager.html Doesn't look like the steam train is making it his way over though. http://www.railtourguide.com/uk-rail...-of-scots.html
Phil, Thanks for the links. The first one is NOT a steam train, just the normal train. Your second link is to the steam train but no mention of price - as Torvaig says - lottery win or similar springs to mind. Thanks for the link Torvaig - memories! Sorry cannot seem to get spaces as I want/need. Prices from £1025

Thanks for all the info just wanted a day trip not a holiday. Will have to wait to see if i do win the lottery.
Thanks again
Yeah, there are a number of trips by different trains. The first link is the trip up the Far North line, the second is for the steam train which is doing the West coast, that is £1025. The price is on the site somewhere.
The £1k does seem a bit steep but for 8 days including grub and beds it isn't too bad. And that is for the steam train, the others are cheaper.
I think theres one on Speyside . Seen it at Boat of Garten . Near Aviemore. im sure they do trips. . try googling it.??
I was right , heres the link.

It's a great pity that there isn't a steam train running on the Wick to Thurso line. What a fantastic tourist attraction that would make, bringing visitors and new business and breathing new life (not to mention Smoke!) into Caithness. Needs a few people like Pete Waterman and quite a few £million to do it though!!
