Glenfinnan Guides - The Train, the Parking, the Timing
Whether you can ride the Hogwarts Express, when the steam train crosses the viaduct, what parking costs, and whether a guided day is worth it.

The viewpoint is free; parking is roughly £3.50–£5 and fills by mid-morning in season. Why we won't print the train timetable, and where to get it.
