Any that leave Portsmouth Harbour going the wrong way. Lovely views of the Solent.
I’ve seen similar views at points when heading down to Truro/Cornwall.
Frankfurt to Köln. The “slow” train that follows the Rhein.
They have built the sprinter line – 300kph in silent comfort.
No view though. The “slow train – only 199kph” is much better.
Newcastle to Edinburgh
Devon Line from Exeter to Plymouth
North Wales- Harlech?
Any that pass through the Edinburgh to Aberdeen line, just south of Montrose station at Montrose basin at low tide.
Not quite as beachy, but when I lived west of Glasgow towards the coast and got the train to Glasgow for work, there was a similar view of the river & hills across it. I miss it.
Hull to Selby/Leeds, on a summers day, the Humber looks magical.
Carmarthen to Llanelli. East Coast Main Line north of Newcastle.
Lol I want to know the backstory to this one. Someone doesn’t believe someone else is where they say they are
Carlisle to Skipton
St Ives
Swansea to tenby
Looe Line
Gloucester to Cardiff, some incredible views skimming the banks of the Severn
Riviera Line from Paignton to Exeter, and the line from Barnstaple – Exeter – Exmouth
In the north, Carlisle – Lancaster with a quick switch over at Oxenholme. Although the five minutes from Kendal – Windermere are quite nice too. South I would say St Ives for nice views. Honestly the Lake District open top tour buses are some of the best views in my opinion though if you stop for a day out.
That reminds me of going up to Carmarthen from Llanelli.
But what others have said also apply: up to Harlech, the south coast past Exeter, north of Lancaster; the Highlands.
Hull to Howden
Gloucester to Chepstow, views over the Severn
Looks like the line that runs past Conwy castle
Between Grange over Sands and Ulverston.
I used to get off at Lympstone Commando.
London to Dover
Belfast to Derry
Furness Line / Cumbria Coast
Coleraine to Derry. Awesome coastal views.
Bruv just get on a boat
Looe-Liskeard maybe? That has some famously easturine bits.
Bakerloo line, when I close my eyes and imagine myself somewhere else
Wiltshire, any time there’s a light shower.
Derry to Belfast. The train hugs the coast for a lot of the journey.
