Notes :
(1) Originally uploaded as run by Pathfinder Tours some confusion exists as to
the operator and start/finish point for this tour. Given originally as starting
from Bristol however a Railtourer tour itinerary
seen by the Webmaster gave it as a Preston start. Pre-tour advertising in Rail
magazine gave the tour start as Bristol but the tour operator as Regency Rail
Cruises!
(2) Originally given as travelling through to Fort William however the tour
itinerary states '...arriving at Crianlarich at 17.05 to join our [road] coaches
for Fort William'.
