2005 Aviemore & Kyle of Lochalsh : The government, we are reliably informed, is considering congestion charges for the train network. After years of being harangued about the virtues of public transport (not that the SMRS ever needed convincing) it seems that it is now too popular for its own good.

2003 A Grampian Odyssey : Number nine already, and it seems barely a decade since we first set out on these little jaunts to the extremes of ex-Railtrack's network. One day I shall remember what ex-Railtrack calls itself now, but then again it may not last beyond the next election so perhaps I won't bother.

2002 Ireland : Our first foreign excursion. Precedent was set a few years ago when 'Scotland' was interpreted as 'a part of the UK with strong Celtic traditions', to permit a sleeper trip to Cornwall. Read more here: http://www.railwaygardener.co.uk/page3/page28/page180/page180.html .

1999 Fort William & Mull : The 1999 escape plan targeted the West Highlands, on the basis that it was three years since the last visit, and the region would have had time to nearly recover. Five members set out in mid-June, a sixth having withdrawn on the basis that life was one long holiday, and he needed some time just to live and do his laundry, like the rest of us more ordinary folk.

1996 Fort William & Oban : This was the route we tried to do in 1995, but couldn't because of the rush of bookings anticipating the closure of the Fort William sleeper. As it happened, it was saved by combining it with the Inverness and Aberdeen sleepers as far as Edinburgh. Read more here: http://www.railwaygardener.co.uk/page3/page28/page168/page168.html .

1995 Inverness & Kyle of Lochalsh : Our first, tentative, visit north of the Great Divide (the Merseyside/Lancashire county line). As befits an advance party, the numbers were limited to three of the society's most expendable members. Read more here: http://www.railwaygardener.co.uk/page3/page28/page166/page166.html .
