Amongst all the beauty of Scottish highlands, the only reason a trip to Glenfinnan would make sense is if you are a huge Harry Potter fan. We consider ourselves minor Harry Potter fans and since it wasn’t too far away so we decided to give a visit. We read that we should arrive at least 30 minutes before to get a good spot but we conveniently ignored it and arrived 15 minutes early. Looking at the queues of the cars 2 miles before and after the viaduct, it was clear that arriving just 30 minutes before would not be sufficient. You need to come there at least 1 hour before the train arrives. If you want the real experience, the steam engine comes on the viaduct twice in a day, and you can check the timings and plan accordingly. There are also a few other activities in this area.

เป็นวิวที่สวยมาก การรอคอยรถไฟเป็นอะไรที่สนุก คนหลายคนมารวมตัวกันเพื่อมาถ่ายรูปรถไฟไอน้ำ

Pretty viaduct but really hard to figure out train times as websites all say different. We ended up seeing just a regular train. Kind of a let down if you are expecting the classic steam train. However if you can figure it out the east viewpoint is a great view for the return trips. Would need to go to the other side for start trains.

Поезд называется Jacobite steam train.

Поезд идёт из Форт-Уилям (Fort William) в Маллай (Mallaig), делает там остановку примерно на 1,5 часа и потом едет обратно из Маллай в Форт-Уильям.

С 7 апреля по 24 октября таких поездок в день он делает одну, с 5 мая по 26 сентября две.

За одну поездку поезд пересекает виадук дважды - когда едет в Маллай и когда едет обратно.

Если вы смотрите поезд, когда он едет в Маллай, то идете на Glenfinnan Viaduct Viewpoint (West), если когда он едет обратно в Форт-Вилльям, то Glenfinnan Viaduct Viewpoint (East). Так он будет ехать на вас по ходу движения.

По дороге к Viewpoint будет деревянная калитка/ворота - их можно открыть и пройти, это разрешено, надо только закрыть за собой.

Актуальное расписание можно и нужно проверить на сайте жд компании.

Утренний поезд при поездке в Маллай пересекает виадук примерно 11:00, обратно в Форт-Уильям пересекает виадук примерно в 15:00.

Послеобеденный поезд в Маллай пересекает виадук примерно 13:25, обратно в Форт-Уильям пересекает виадук примерно в 17:45. В любом случае к этому времени плюс минус 20 минут.

При этом приходит сильно заранее не стоит, делать там нечего, почва болотистая и стоять долго не комфортно, занять лучшие места не получится - все равно придут туристы и надо будет перемещаться :)

Опыт общения с персоналом отеля и местными жителями показал что они нихера не знают и дают дурацкие советы. Консьерж в отеле дважды проверил в интернете и все равно сказал неправильное время. Местный житель по дороге сказал что поезд уже не ходит. Вообще никого не слушайте ))

Оптимально приехать в Glenfinan house hotel и припарковаться на их парковке - она бесплатная если вы там живете или тратите больше 25 фунтов в пабе при отеле. Рекомендую и то и другое. Отель отличный, кормят вкусно.

Идти на смотровые сильно заранее смысла нет, насколько хорошее место вы бы не заняли придут другие кто перекроет вид и придётся перемещаться :) кроме того почва там болотистая и когда стоить...

Make sure to choose your view point according to the direction of the train. The train passes over the viaduct four times a day: 10:45,13:20,15:10,18:05 (summer 2023).

If you're climbing to the north-eastern view point (which is good for the return journey), you need to turn right (east) just after passing underneath the viaduct. The hill...
