Scotland's so-called “Harry Potter Train” has halted its service until further notice amid a dispute over safety regulations, depriving visiting fans of the books and films of a major spot for selfies.

The steam train is seen snaking its way across the Glenfinnan Viaduct in two Harry Potter movies as the Hogwarts Express between Mallaig on the Scottish west coast and Fort William at the foot of the highest British mountain, Ben Nevis.
