International Railroad Discussion > Tornado and Steam In Scotland Summer 2023Date: 01/23/23 06:17 Tornado and Steam In Scotland Summer 2023 Author: swirsk53 I am planning to travel in Scotland this summer and have been looking at 2 steam travel options. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has ridden either
First is the 21st Century Steam Aberdonian from Edinburgh to Aberdeen and back - is the Tornado going to be back in service in time for trips in July? - how much time on train each way from Edinburgh to Aberdeen and back -experience with First Class v. Tourist Class - what are differences in equipmennt/seating/amenities? -Premier Dining - website shows as sold out for the date i am looking at but would like to hear expiences -Experiences riding this or their other routes? Second is the Jacobite Steam Train from GLasgow to to Mallaig via Glenfinnan viaduct -is it always steam? -experience riding? Thanks Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/23/23 07:00 by swirsk53.

Have you looked at the A1 Steam Trust (whi own Tornado) website? In particular this page Tornado news By the way, I agree that you may get more information on the European pages.
