Forres station to transform Scottish rail travel [RTM]
Date: 23/10/2017
Scotlands newest station has been officially opened as part of the Aberdeen-Inverness Improvement Project.
It is hoped that the project, funded by the Scottish Government, will transform rail travel between the two cities and slash journey times.
The station was completed during the recent 10-day closure of the line, whilst the railway was moved onto a straighter, double-tracked alignment to the north of the old station.
As a part of the project, the station car park has more than doubled in size, with 58 parking spaces, including three disabled spaces, four oversized spaces and two electric car charging points.
The stations two platforms are also linked by a fully accessible footbridge and lifts.
