We're very excited to unveil the first of our five Active Travel Carriages. These each have space for up to 20 bikes of all shapes and sizes - including tandems, and e-bikes.

They'll enter service on the #WestHighlandLine once we're able to safely complete staff training.
The finishing touches to the first carriage are currently being made at @BrodieEng's workshops in Kilmarnock.

As well as fitting the racks for bikes and heavy luggage, they've also installed WiFi, plug sockets, and upgraded the toilet.
The stunning livery was created by Skye-based artist, Peter McDermott and depicts landmarks from the journey including Kilchurn Castle, Ben Lomond, Glenfinnan Viaduct, and the Cullins.

To #Mallaig on the #WestHighlandLine on a glorious day! 10 and a half hours there and back, but all that sitting made up for by some of the best scenery in Europe.

1. Outskirts of Glasgow. It gets better, I promise...
2. Dumbarton Rock, capital of Yr Henn Ogledd, The Old North, comes into view.
(Especially for @holland_tom)
@holland_tom 3. Turning north at Helensburgh we leave the Firth of the Clyde to start climbing.
