		The Highland Main Line has class 158 and class 170 Turbostar trains except for the Sleeper and the Intercity from GNER which is a High Speed Train.

		Despite this the line is not short of scenery and is probably one of the most rural of our mainlines passing through no large towns on its entire length from Inverness to Perth.

		Part of what is arguably the country's most beautiful railway, the line weaves along the coast, through whitewashed Highland cottages and granite peaks, to reach Kyle opposite the Isle of Skye.

		Kyle's tourist office (July and Aug Mon-Sat 9am-6pm, Sun 10am-4pm; April-June, Sept and Oct Mon-Sat 9am-5pm; tel 01599/534276), on top of the small hill near the old ferry jetty, can book accommodation - a useful service as there are surprisingly few options.
