Scottish Town Regains Its Station After 56 Years
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Railnews.
This is the introductory paragraph.
Trains are calling at Kintore in Aberdeenshire today for the first time since December 1964.
Some points about the new Kintore station.
- It is a two platform station on the newly double-tracked Aberdeen and Inverness Line.
- The station has a footbridge with lifts.
- The station is 13.4 miles or 19 minutes from Aberdeen.
- The station is 94.8 miles or two hours and twenty-three minutes from Inverness.
- All the services I can find yesterday, seem to have been run by Class 158 trains.
- There is a 168 space car park, with 24 charging points.
The station cost £15 million.
London Overground Syndrome
I have a feeling that Aberdeen and Inverness Line could be a prime candidate for suffering from London Overground Syndrome.
I suspect though, that ScotRail will quickly eradicate it, by putting on more trains.
The Anonymous Widower 
Looked on Google earth and the images are so old they only show a single track! Anyway, there is a barbed-wire logo showing the station’s location which is to the north of the town so it will be quite a walk for for some.
