ScotRail has released plans to change the hours at its staffed ticket offices which could result in shorter opening times throughout the week. In the north and north-east, changes are proposed at stations including Huntly, Aviemore, Dingwall, Forres, Elgin, Keith, Kingussie and Nairn.

Many stations will have a change in the pattern of opening hours. The previous pattern was of Monday to Friday hours, which will now be replaced with Monday to Thursday hours with changes to the service on a Friday.
