I am a train driver on the jacobite line I have driven that train nearly everyday it is the best job in the world

This is quite a beautiful video. My father worked for a railroad for 25 years including the eras of steam and diesel power. As a kid the big black steam engines were by far my favorite! I hope I get to travel the route you showed us someday. Gorgeous!

...lot of fun watching... thanks Hannah... and I can confirm that it is indeed one of the most amazing train rides you can find anywhere... doing it I fell in love so much with Sco'land, that I now live up here... :)

DW Travel... thank you for the ride along... Visuals of Scotland country side phenomenal...The mountains beautiful greenery, blue skys.... Hannah Hummel hope you enjoyed your Whimsical 🪄train ride ..

My husband and I traveled from the United States just to ride this train and see the beautiful highlands!

Look forward to visit it one day for sure!!

Wow that area is amazingly beautiful!

beautiful. Hannah was so happy

Hannah always brightens my day. I love the trains, they really do belong in the countryside like this.

Brings back so many memories from childhood! How could I forget how magical of a beginning the Harry Potter series had! The buzz and excitement of seeing the chug of that train brings me back. The Scottish highlands looks beautiful.

Of cos everything was fantastic, but the most unique experience on the trip was your infectious smile, miss host...can make any soul 19 times more happy 😊😊

If you can’t get a ticket or it’s too expensive you can also take the Scot Rail diesel unit from Fort William to Mallaig. I’ve been in the diesel train a couple of times and the trip is spectacular.

Beautiful scenery

Amazing video.. I wish DW travel continues to produce such videos and entertain us

And Thank you very much for the travel!

Looks beautiful

THANKS From Romania 🇷🇴

Brilliant!

Wonderful

Really i love your videos !! Kisses from Brazil

Beautiful 😍

Oohhh that is awesome!

Wow. It's worth trying. It'll probably be my next trip. Hope this train is still available for travelers 🤔

Hannah , you are lovely and enthusiastic! Love watching you...

Nostalgia.

As a rail enthusiast myself, this causes me too much physical pain. I mean, IN HARRY POTTER (at least the film) THE ENGINE USED IS A GWR HALL CLASS. THIS EXCURSION IS HAULED BY AN LMS BLACK 5 LOCOMOTIVE. AND ON THE COVER THERE IS A VERY GOOFY SCHOOLS CLASS *dies of everything possible*

Good job Hannah

If I got it right, the locomotive now pulling the Jacobite is not the one used in Harry Potter, because that one is kept on display in WB studio in London. It's still in Hogwarts Express livery :)

Anything from the trolley?! 😁

I love this and everything about it. It was Harry Potter (and Polar Express lol) that ignited my love for trains, specifically steam locomotives and ones where you get your own compartment in the train car. I can imagine getting your private compartment is more pricey than the ones that aren't. I hope I get to visit and ride this train, and visit the stops and surrounding areas one day. I don't know how much longer they'll allow steam locomotives to keep running so hopefully soon!

Wow 👏 😍

Very nice

Wow 😲😲😲😲

pretty good.

chipperfield, that was a well known circus name. and boy his description of traveling by steam train is so accurate. ahh yes i remember it well. then beaching and cutting corners happened and buggered it all up. profit before people strikes again

Just booked a compartment for my honeymoon! So excited.

I was on this train last week. I was so excited.

Cuxhaven has some killer chip shops!😎

If you want to have the tea service it is in first class only and when I tried to book it, it was a year in advance. Even trying for an upgrade on the day of travel wasn’t successful. Although their is a trolley service for the rest of the train. But it was still a wonderful journey through the countryside.

this is the train that rod stewart talks in the song every beat of my heart?!!!!

Nice

Hannah Hummel makes everything better.

love it from PH

I got first class tickets thinking it would b better i was so wrong . We ended up in a cabin with a family off tourists we were told to move from window seats so the view we had was a door and the family off 4 who were loud and rude . Then on way back was the same only the family needed to have a sleep so if we wanted a view we would need to lean over the tired family . If you do it get the cheap seats you can c both sides of the train

I did that trip three times (pre Potter) ,great views. Real good Fish restaurant at Mallaig.

That's not the original train, 5972 Olton Hall is a preserved Great Western Railway Hall class locomotive made famous for being depicted to pull the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter film series. Builder: GWR Swindon Works Build date: 30 April 1937 You were being pulled by LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 45212 is a preserved British steam locomotive. It was built by Armstrong Whitworth at Newcastle upon Tyne in 1935.

Nickname for the glenfinnan Viaduct is concrete Bob as it was the first instu concrete bridge

Your accent got more Scottish got progressively more Scottish.

Speaking of trains generally, if you have not done so, it is such a treat. At any age, any physical condition, you can't be it, really you can't. If you are the one always driving the car--you miss pretty well all of the scenery; with these big, bay windows you can sit there, really seeing all there is to see, a cup of chowder maybe in your hands. It really is wonderful. Sleepy? Just doze off. A little peckish--they have a buffet car or sometimes full service meals. Cramped? Get up and walk--no one is stopping you. This young woman? Probably her biggest problem would be the boys not leaving her alone. Rail travel is better than ANY form of travel I know. Some I know would argue horseback and if that is your thing, great. But most people--you can't beat rail travel, you just can't.

In 2023 i visited and see Jacobite train...

I learned that you can take the Scotrail train as well.

God bless those wee guys who love Harry Potter.

Awesome. Caledonian cruise

This answered literally none of the questions I have

It is not the actual train, altough it does feel that way if you are on board. The actual train is in London on Harry Potter duties: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_4900_Class_5972_Olton_Hall Still: It is a great experience, can advise anyone to take the trip on the Jacobite!

Iv wanted to travel on "The Jacobite" for years but the issue is getting upto Fort William from where I live which is in Southport & the only really viable option is travel on the overnight sleeper which goes directly from Preston to Fort William. The other issue is it's extremely expensive to travel on the sleeper and if I were to go on normal services id need to go to Glasgow Central then make my way to Queen Street where I could then get a service to Fort William. It wouldn't be an out and back trip either as it's way too far to do it in one day and then get back home in the same day. It's also too far to drive as it would be around 200-300 miles driving in total going in one direction. West Coast Railways I have however travelled with on a number of railtours including their popular "Scarborough Spa Express" trains and if they are run next year "The Pendle Dalesman".

❤

What a beautiful Scottish lady and her accent is so wonderful ❤❤❤❤

Yes I agree, anything good like scones etc from Scotland.

That's my hame.

How much is it and were in Scotland please

My daughter love Harry Potter soso muchand she make the sketch of Harry Potter and Ginny she likes them in their real life also

How to book this train ticket???

Is it a two way train ride? There and back? Or can I stay a few days and order a train back?

May I know which month is this journey taken?

Excuse-me, could you tell me please the reference of the book of Harry Potter you were reading in the train? Thanks!

Im going there I guess cus I have a card and it says it’s for the train

Platform 9 3/4 here i come.

The reporter face is similiar with the Hermione Granger (the harry Potter actor)

Is it operational now, after COVID? How to book tickets for the same?

😊❤👍🏻🚂

Do I have to sit on the right or on the left to have the best view of the Viaduct like in HP?

Shame they are having trouble with the carriages situation. Mark one carriages are now very old . They may need to think about having newer carriages that have the interlocking doors . They may need to do this now to be able to operate this train .

See the scenery, that is fine if the windows get cleaned.

Why did you call Loch's lakes?

how to get the ticket of this train

WHY DOES EVERYONE CALL IT THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS TRAIN ITS SIMPLY JUST AN LMS CLASS 5 😭

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Its henry

I 🌹🌹 love 🌷🌷 you ❤️❤️❤️ my friend 💓💓💓💓

Hannah is super dolce.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

"The mountains and the lakes..." there's only one "lake" i Scotland, and it's not in the Highlands. She's been away a long time?

Sorry it is not the Hogwarts Express and this steam Loco has never been on the screens, it is a totally different steam engine, This is the Jacobite Express and the Loco is an LMS Black Five, the Hogwarts Express Loco is a Great Western Hall class loco.

Have you met dumbledore ?

Deffo not the exact same train that was on screen. The loco is completely different for a start

3:27 screnic viaduct

As a British Rail fan what annoys me is that people always associate certain things with " Harry Potter", Christ it was a fairy tale film, it may have been made using this line and viaduct, but as I said this is a tourist train on a scheduled service in Scotland and both the Engine and train are not in any way associated with Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Express as mich as you would expect Julie Andrews to come dancing over the Alps.

Make more KZfaq videos with Hannah presenting. Not just tik toks.

Looks like thomas but without a face.

🇵🇹👍🏻🇬🇧

No the same steam locomotive as the Hogwarts express

its leviosa not leviosaaa!

I'm 40 years old... from the age of 8 I'd go on holiday EVERY year with my family well before Harry Potter ruined it. 😕

Hannah, will you go on a date with me? Love the way you smile

Love and hugs to steam engine driver..... Can I fall in love with her daughter..... I am from India If Mrs. Florence MacLean who is the conductor of this train want.... Then I will marry with her daughter..... It will be my pleasure and happy Diwali from India and happy preparation for Christmas and New year.

Gonna have to put a big electric engine or hydrogen engine in now with cop26 😂 we can all just pretend it's a steam train...sure the imagination is great

Her vocal fry is grating on my ears

I took my 2 grandkids on this train,they both dressed up in Harry Potter costumes,I was a bit disappointed the company did not do more to emphasis the Harry Potter connection.
