Changes, Additions, or Just More Decisions?

I did a review of  Rick Steves "Most Scenic Train Rides" for Europe here.  I collated them and found the ones that were recommended the most for the areas we would be in.  These are not decisions we need to make, just options available to us if we wish to do them.

Scotland: 

Mallaig
West Highland line to:
Glasgow north to Ft Williams

Glasgow to Mallaig   
Edinburgh to Inverness 



Italy:
Nice to Genoa (multiple) 2.5-3 hrs (searched for a long time, but couldn't find any pictures from the train)

Nice to Limone (via Genoa)
Florence to Nice

Obviously, there must be something between Italy and Nice worth seeing.

There is also a night train that goes from London up the west coast of Scotland to Glasgow, but can also continue on to the Skye Islands and Mallaig.  There is a really good website here that tells you all about the trains, schedules, and stops.


Ok, Becky...I will keep working on transportation around Italy...but some of those Scotland ones sound promising?
