Experience
More than the view from the window
A scenic train journey is made up of more than where the railway goes.
It's the changing view outside your window, the sound and movement of travelling by rail, stories shared along the way, time on a viewing platform, something from the onboard café and the people who bring the journey to life.
Explore what it's like to travel aboard our trains and the railway, landscapes and stories behind the experience.
