Future developments

The "Scotland Route Utilisation Strategy", published by Network Rail in March 2007, recommends an improved frequency and capacity for passenger services on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line given the high patronage at peak times. Two development options are identified in the report: the provision of additional infrastructure to allow an accelerated hourly service; and platform extensions to permit six-car operation. If the latter were implemented, the platforms at Insch railway station would be extended by 17 metres.
