Fort William to Mallaig: West Highland Railway (Part 2).
The regular ScotRail service from Glasgow continues all the way to Mallaig (so in practice, you can actually cover the whole West Highland Line route on one train).
However, there’s a much more interesting way to travel between Fort William and Mallaig:
The Jacobite steam train (AKA The Harry Potter Express).
