Charter Trains 2007
Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.

A list of charter trains, railtours and associated stock moves and locomotive movements on the mainline in Scotland during 2007.

Due to engineering work at Edinburgh Waverley, charter trains were unable to call there for most of the year.
Abbreviations:
T+T = Top and Tail (loco either end)
DOR = Dead on rear
