    Service with opening windows over the Forth Bridge

    Again: Not myself. I have a GorillaPod and will approach the guard in advance. If told not to, then won't.

    Service with opening windows over the Forth Bridge

    Service with opening windows over the Forth Bridge

    I appreciate the warning. Was expecting to just hold a small (and cheap!) compact digital camera outside rather than any hardcore window hanging...

    Service with opening windows over the Forth Bridge

    Fife Circle seems just what I need as I can also jump off at North Queensferry for photos. Thanks!

    Service with opening windows over the Forth Bridge

    Thanks to Virgin's latest seat sale I am visiting Edinburgh and plan to both cross and see the Forth Bridge. I would like to get some video of the crossing if possible so what will be the best value quick trip on stock that features opening windows? Cheers!

    The Best Train Sim?

    I have owned MSTS, flirted with BVE and now own and use Railworks. MSTS was a great game but is showing it's age a little.
