Highland Main Line - Definition and Overview |
|
|
The Highland Main Line is a railway line in Scotland. It is 190 km (118 miles) long and runs through the Scottish Highlands linking a series of small towns and villages with Perth at one end and Inverness at the other. Today, services between Inverness and Edinburgh, Glasgow and London use the line.
The vast majority of the line was built and operated by the Highland Railway with a small section of the line between Perth and Stanley built by the Caledonian Railway. Originally, the line between Inverness and Perth went via Forres, but the Inverness and Aviemore Direct Railway was opened in 1898 to allow for a more sensible routing.
As of 2004, there stations on the line are as follows:
Services on the line are provided by First ScotRail and GNER.
