Whether we're commuting to work or travelling for a staycation, trains are a great way to get around the country.
And Scotland offers some beautiful scenery on its railway routes with stunning scenery passengers can experience.
From the cinematic beauty of the Glenfinnan Viaduct to the West Highland Line, there's plenty of incredible journeys across Scotland passing through hundreds of train stations.
In fact, during 2020 - 2021, more than 380 million passenger journeys were made on national rail services in the UK.
According to the ORR (Office of Rail and Road) this increase in passengers has contributed to an overall deterioration in punctuality and reliability - but has also lead to an increase in complaints.
