If it is allowed Mallaig (on the Jacobite)

Unfortunately, the Jacobite does not stop at Arisaig and nothing else misses out Morar to get to Mallaig, so this move is invalid (as is Paul's Morar because of this move).

We are still at Arisaig

You may be right but this is what their web site says
Glenfinnan:

We cross the 21-arched Glenfinnan viaduct (a location made famous in the Harry Potter films) which overlooks Loch Shiel and the Jacobite monument. The train may pause on the viaduct, time permitting, to allow you to take in the magnificent view. Once stopped in Glenfinnan station there will be time to stretch your legs and, if you wish, visit the West Highland Railway Museum located in the restored station building. The Jacobite may also stop at Arisaig by request to the guard.

And I thought if they stopped one could get on:cry:

While not disagreeing with their literature, I was checking by referring to Table 227 in the GB Rail Timetable (Winter 14) which only shows an intermediate stop at Glenfinnan.

Another factor that has come to light is that the Jacobite does not start running until 12th May and so is only a valid service from that date. Sorry. :(
