"Railway station at the eastern end of the preserved Caledonian Railway. The station is being lovingly restored by dedicated volunteers, whose efforts are to be praised.
The trip from Brechin to Bridge of Dun, whether steam or diesel hauled, is an enjoyable experience!"
James Corstorphine
"Polar Express, a definite must, what a fantastic trip, all the way to the North Pole to find, 'you know who'. We did and received our first gift of Christmas. 4 year old was in total amazement Santa knew their name ( was on their pj top) and was on the nice list. Hot, hot, hot chocolate was absolutely amazing and a yummy cookie too. What a great start to the festive season. The crew on board were fantastic, singing and dancing, interacting with the kids. The conductor played his part amazingly. Thank you all."
