Charter Trains 2008

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 2008.

The regular Jacobite steam trains and The Royal Scotsman are detailed elsewhere.


Abbreviations:
ECS = Empty Coaching Stock
T+T = Top and Tail (loco either end)
DOR = Dead on rear
RUGEX = Rugby supporters excursion.
