Newtonmore railway station serves the village of Newtonmore, Highland, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is on the Highland Main Line.
History
The station was opened by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway on 9 September 1863.[1] The original station buildings were constructed of wood and destroyed in a fire in April 1893[2] A replacement station building in stone was erected in 1893.[3]
A serious accident occurred on 2 August 1894 when the morning passenger train from Perth to Inverness collided with a goods train. One passenger was killed and several were badly injured.[4]
On 13 September 1900, James Ormiston, a brakesman was killed in a shunting accident at the station.[5]
Current services
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.
