[edit] Future developments
The Scotland Route Utilisation Strategy Draft for Consultation, published by Network Rail in August 2006, acknowledges the need for improved frequency and capacity of 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. [1]
