Date: 12/03/2021

It is regularly named the most scenic railway line in the world and found global stardom by appearing in the Harry Potter films. But local residents are furious at plans for an overnight stop on the famous Glenfinnan viaduct. A trial run by a vintage heritage train at the weekend involved an overnight halt on the viaduct - which locals say disrupted their sleep.
