Tips for Train Travel

What to Pack

For luxury train journeys, pack light but smart. Comfortable clothes for daytime exploration and elegant attire for evening dining are key. Don’t forget your camera, power bank, and any personal essentials like medication. A small bag for toiletries is also a must, as well as a jacket for cooler evenings.

Currency

Scotland uses the British pound (£). While credit cards are widely accepted, it’s always handy to carry some cash for small purchases, tips, or local souvenirs. Currency exchange services are available at train stations, and most onboard services accept cards.

Climate

The weather in Scotland can be unpredictable, especially in the Highlands. Pack for all seasons, bringing layers, waterproof jackets, and sturdy shoes for outdoor excursions. Even in summer, temperatures can be cool, so don’t forget a warm layer for cooler evenings.

Food

Luxury train journeys offer world-class dining, from gourmet breakfasts to elegant multi-course dinners. You can expect delicious Scottish fare such as fresh seafood, haggis, and venison. Special dietary needs can be accommodated if informed in advance, but always feel free to ask the onboard staff about the day’s offerings.

How Much to Tip

Tipping is generally appreciated for excellent service. For train staff, a tip of 10-15% is customary for the dining car and tour guides. You may also want to tip hotel staff or concierge services, typically £1-£2 per service, depending on the level of assistance.

Souvenirs

Onboard and at station stops, you’ll find local souvenirs like whisky, tartan scarves, and handmade Scottish crafts. The Royal Mile in Edinburgh and various distilleries offer unique mementos. Keep an eye out for local specialties such as Scottish shortbread, tweed, and artisanal chocolates.
