Summary edit

Description
English: Welcome to Thurso Passengers at Thurso station, having just arrived on a Scotrail train from Inverness. Thurso is the most northerly station on the British railways network.

The train working on the far north line is interesting. Each train passes through Georgemas Junction twice in each direction. On arrival at Georgemas Jcn. from Inverness, the train reverses and travels to Thurso. It then returns to Georgemas and onto Wick. In the reverse direction, trains travel from Wick to Georgemas, then to Thurso, back to Georgemas and then onto Inverness. I wonder if this occurs on any other route in the UK?

In the days when trains on the line were locomotive hauled, there were always two locomotives. On arrival at Georgemas, the trains were split and each locomotive took a section to Wick and Thurso respectively.
