The “Harry Potter” train in Scotland is allowed to travel through the Highlands again. However, the exception to the safety rules was only allowed until November 30, reports the British news agency PA.
The train, which has been compared to the ‘Hogwarts Express’, usually runs twice a day between Fort William, at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, and Mallaig on the west coast. He crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct – a landscape also known from the “Harry Potter” films. This place is especially popular with tourists who want to take a picture of it.
Scotland’s Jacobite train was reportedly halted a few weeks ago after a problem with the carriage doors was discovered. The operator, West Coast Railway, subsequently proposed safety measures, which were reviewed. On Tuesday, the British rail regulator Office of Rail and Road (ORR) finally announced that a special permit would be granted until November 30.
“This exemption certificate is required for all railway undertakings that want to use revolving door wagons without central locking,” the ministry said. This means that the train “De Jacobiet” can now run until November 30th.
