On the Western Tour a second loco (usually a class 37) is attached at Fort William after arrival from Spean Bridge. This second loco then leads to Mallaig with the first loco on the rear of the train (top and tail). After returning to Fort William, the train runs empty to Fort William Junction Yard, the locomotives swap ends, and the first loco is on the front for the departure to Bridge of Orchy. The second loco leads the final leg of the tour from Wemyss Bay to Edinburgh.
The second loco normally runs from Craigentinny to Fort William light engine as 0H84 a few hours ahead of the Western Tour.
In a change to previous practice, this year the train loco is used on the Strathspey Railway between Aviemore and Boat of Garten.
On Classic and Highland tours, the Observation car is at the front of the train (behind the loco) on departure from Edinburgh. On Western Tours, the train normally departs Edinburgh from the East end, with the Observation car at the rear. However, this can change when tour itenaries are amended.
Tours marked $ are shown in the Working Timetable but are not advertised on The Royal Scotsman website. If they do run as private charters, they may have alterered itineries.
Tours marked % have alterered itineries, sometimes due to engineering works.
