Spent the last couple of evenings trying to capture the unbelievable atmosphere I experienced while taking the train through the Cairngorms National Park yesterday...

You wouldn't know it from my output, but I've been doing a lot of landscapes recently and it's been very satisfying. Now I just need to get more of them in a position where I feel I can share them!

Reference photos under the cut:

What I wouldn't have given for all of the train lights to suffer from spontaneous failure, HONESTLY........ still, these photos got me part of the way, and then it was vibes and hastily-written phone notes:

"Red-pink glow reflected in the ice of a river as the sun sets behind the mountain. Banks of mist, snow on the ground"

So I want to start shipping the different train operating companies together:

Let me start off with Scotrail. I think that Scotrail is definitely Aro Ace. She is happy doing her own thing, and live in a cold hut in the middle of the snow and the heavy winds. Both LNER and Avanti keep approaching Scotrail but Scotrail is completely uninterested in their approaches and wish that they would leave her alone.

It's hard being dumped. It's even harder when, on the way home from being dumped, you get on the wrong train. Some would say the hardest thing of all is being dumped, getting on the wrong train, then finding out that the train belongs to Death and they don't plan on letting you leave.

Scotland By Train

One of the nice things about visiting Scotland is that they have an extensive train system to transport people around most of their major cities with ease- no cars needed. This is especially convenient as Scotland drives on the left side of the road, and I’m much more comfortable driving on the right! ScotRail The main train network throughout the country is operated by ScotRail. You can look…

ScotRail - Your ticket goes further than you think

The campaign showcases an array of destinations and experiences,  from rugged outdoor adventures and wild beaches to pretty seaside towns, historic cities, and cultural landmarks. This sends an important message  that there’s something for everyone in Bonnie Scotland.

The clever tagline, “Your ticket goes further than you think”, has a double meaning. It encourages domestic travel by emphasizing the accessibility of all these destinations via the ScotRail network. And it also frames train journeys as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to explore this diverse and spectacular country.

Part 3 in Shipping different Train Operating Companies Together

LNER does have lots of cousins who they don't like (the cousins kind of maintain relationships with each other, I mean what kind of Alabama level bulshit is this). Maybe that caused enough psychological damage, explaining why they are so pushy with Scotrail, but let's be clear, LNER's actions are completely unjustified regardless.

LNER is in fierce competition with Avanti, but what Avanti doesn't know is that LNER performs about as well as Avanti without even trying. Avanti keeps upgrading itself, trying to beat LNER but LNER doesn't even try and still performs as well. If LNER actually tried, well he'd easily beat his rival Avanti.
