The Friends of the Far North Line
Cairdean Na Loine Tuath
the campaign group for rail north of
Inverness - lobbying for improved services for the local user, tourist and freight
operator
On 11 May the Steam Dreams rail tour visited the Far North Line, hauled by LNER B1 4-6-0, Mayflower, which is owned by Steam Dreams chairman David Buck. The trip had left London Victoria on 9 May, and was taken over by Flying Scotsman for the York-Inverness leg of the journey. Mayflower was in charge from Inverness to Brora, then over both the Kyle and West Highland lines, eventually returning to London Euston on 17 May.
Not many trains beginning their journey at London's Southern Railway Victoria terminus have ever arrived at Brora - Brighton is a far more likely destination!
