Please note: methodology may vary year on year. Newtonmore railway station is a railway station serving the village of Newtonmore, Highland, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is on the Highland Main Line.
The station is served by trains to Inverness and Glasgow or Edinburgh, a daily train service to London King's Cross, and a nightly Caledonian Sleeper service to London Euston. The station has just one platform; since it was shortened the main building is now a holiday home and is now no longer part of the platform. Because the platform is short, express services overrun the platform commonly.[citation needed] The station was listed for closure[when?] but was saved because it provided crucial transport links to the Scottish and English capitals daily.
