Proper train
BRC&W class 26 no. 26032 stands at Dingwall with an unidentified southbound service to Inverness.
I would shortly be taking a train up to the most northerly extremity of the UK rail network, Thurso. Hardly the best conditions, as can be seen, and they hardly improved the further north I went with that fine, but quick to drench, Scotch rain. I would eventually take the bus from Thurso to Wick, stay overnight in a B&B, before returning down the other leg of the line from Georgemas Junction.
This has been my only ride to date along the delightful line to the Far North - but repeating it on a DMU somehow just doesn't appeal.
