To the east is a junction with the former Morayshire Railway, later Great North of Scotland Railway, and its Elgin East] station. The presently open station is the former Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway, then Highland Railway, station.

To the west the loop has been greatly extended recently, going beyond The Wards Level Crossing.
