Re: Changing At Perth Station
Thank you for all of your replies, very informative. Before I posted I had already researched the Scotrail App, Website and visited Queen Street Station Glasgow and enquired at the help desk. Of the trains that we can catch only 2 bike spaces are available on each. I was advised we would need to catch 3 trains for a group of six. One of the available trains requires a change at Perth for Pitlochry. I only need to know if anyone had done this journey before and how easy the change of platform is with a bike.

Re: Changing At Perth Station
Thank you, this post is part of my research. There are 6 of us travelling and as the Gw to Pit trains only take two bikes each we have to catch 3 different trains and some are direct, others change at Perth. Just wondered if there was anyone on here who had changed trains at Perth and could advice on stairs, bridges etc.

Re: Train Glasgow to Pitlochry Return
I can book for the dates I mentioned but it is an advance ticket with no bike places. I'll take your advice and wait another month and hopefully get bikes on although it probably will be over 3 trains to accommodate all 6 bikes !

Train Glasgow to Pitlochry Return
Six of us with bikes are hoping to travel to Pitlochry from Glasgow by train in June 2024, also return by train. Whenever I check train times it states no spaces left on train, it states this for all trains. Frankly I don't believe this. I have contacted Scotrail and am awaiting a reply. I wondered if anyone else had encountered this and could advise ? Or do you know of any other means of getting to Pitlochry ?

Hi, does anyone know of a cafe near North or South Laggan. The Eagle Barge at North Laggan is closed on the day we are cycling through.

Re: A82 Loch Oich, Fort Augustus to North Laggan
Thank you everyone. Cycling from Fort Augustus to Fort William beginning June. Because forestry track is closed I will use the A82 to North Laggan then Canal path to Fort William.

A82 Loch Oich, Fort Augustus to North Laggan
Any thoughts on cycling the 5 miles, on A82, between Fort Augustus and North Laggan, Loch Oich. Path on south side closed for two years due to forestry works. Have been given a diversion route but considering A82 instead.

Fort Augustus to Fort William via Loch Oich and Loch Lochy
Looking for some up to date information. A group of us are planning to cycle Fort Augustus to Fort William, only 30 miles. Plan to cycle on path east side of Loch Oich, cross at North Laggan, cycle west side of Loch Lochy. Are forestry paths very rough ? Is it doable on 25mm tyres or would the minimum be 28mm tyres.

Giant Sealant.
Is it true that Giant Sealant is really Stans Sealant. I have Giant Sealant in my tubeless tyres but have bought Stan’s standard sealant. Can I mix the two.
