The Cairngorm funicular railway is to remain out of action through the summer and possibly longer, Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has said.
Engineers have raised safety concerns about the piers, beams and foundations on the railway, which has not operated since before October last year.
HIE owns the funicular and the wider Cairngorm Mountain ski area near Aviemore.
