During the series, a number of LNER drivers have shared a rare insight into their journeys along different stretches of the LNER route – from Aberdeen to Edinburgh and further south through North East England, Yorkshire and the East Midlands to London King’s Cross.

Tony Paul, LNER train driver said: “ I consider the Inverness to Edinburgh part of our route to be easily the most scenic and beautiful whatever the season.

“The climb out of Inverness to Culloden and onto the single line at Nairn Viaduct is one part of the route that’s a challenge I look forward to.

"It’s great to be able to share some of the experiences I am lucky enough to enjoy from the best seat on the train.”
