Numerous people are set to visit the Glenfinnan Viaduct for the Jacobite Steam Train.

The West Coast Railways operated service attracts thousands each year who wait to watch it cross the viaduct.

Network Rail is prompting people to follow signage and stay safe.

Visitors should stay off the tracks and use dedicated paths which lead to viewing points where photos can be captured.

“The Jacobite Steam Train’s journey over Glenfinnan Viaduct is a magical sight but it’s not worth risking your life for. Too often, we receive reports of dangerous behaviour, with people climbing fences, standing on the railway, or walking along the track to try to get closer. Trespassing on the railway is illegal and puts lives at serious risk. Trains can come from either direction, are quieter than people expect, and can’t stop quickly.

“The Glenfinnan Viaduct Trail offers dedicated viewing spots and most importantly, keep people a safe distance from the railway. We insist everyone visiting uses those areas and helps keep themselves and others out of harm’s way.”

Neil Cook, route crime manager for Network Rail Scotland
