Mountain views from Britain's railways
The four most scenic train journeys.
Four British railway lines run through genuinely high mountain scenery: the West Highland Line (Glasgow to Fort William/Mallaig), the Settle-Carlisle (across the Pennines), the Conwy Valley line (across Snowdonia), and the Snowdon Mountain Railway (up Snowdon itself). All run public services; none requires special tickets.
