Enjoy half price tickets from ScotRail for all journeys on the Highland lines for winter 2011 if you are a member of the Mountaineering Council of Scotland. This fantastic offer is valid from 2nd January 2011 to 31st March 2011. A 50% discount is available on the following routes, including the intermediate stations: Fort William to Mallaig, Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh, and Inverness to Wick/Thurso.
Mountaineering Council of Scotland Chief Officer, David Gibson has said, “Our members are always keen on a bargain, and thanks to ScotRail they now have the chance to use the train for a trip to the hills, or simply to enjoy the spectacle of some of Scotland’s finest mountain landscapes in winter conditions. Either way, it’s a great offer not to be missed.”
Mountaineering Council of Scotland Membership Development Officer Mike Dales also said, “Unlike the rest of the human population, mountaineers tend not to hibernate in winter. We are a group of people that travel around in search of snow covered mountains, so it is great news that we can travel by train this winter and enjoy a generous discount from ScotRail.”
The great news is, anyone joining the Mountaineering Council of Scotland now will receive the quarterly magazine, which contains an article, “Walking from the West Highland Railway,” by Tim Woods, and will be entitled to the ScotRail winter offer.
