Ardgay railway station is a railway station serving the village of Ardgay in the Highland council area of Scotland. The station is on the Far North Line, {{convert|57|mi|70|chain|km|lk=in}} from {{Stnlnk|Inverness}}, near Bonar Bridge, and has a passing loop {{convert|32|chain|m}} long, flanked by two platforms. Platform 1 on the up (southbound) line can accommodate trains having ten coaches, but platform 2 on the down (northbound) line can only hold five.{{sfn|Brailsford|2017|loc=map 20A}}

History

Opened on 1 October 1864 as Bonar Bridge by the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway and designed by Joseph Mitchell,[2][1] it became the meeting point of the Sutherland Railway and the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway. The station joined the Highland Railway, later becoming part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923; it then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was renamed Ardgay on 2 May 1977.

When sectorisation was introduced by British Rail in the 1980s, the station was served by ScotRail until the privatisation of British Rail.

Today Ardgay is the termination point for some commuter services from {{Stnlnk|Inverness}}. The southbound platform is twice the length of the northbound platform.

Services

Timetable changes in December 2008 increased the number of trains through Ardgay. On Mondays to Saturdays, there are seven trains a day southbound to {{Stnlnk|Inverness}} and five a day northbound, four of which continue on to {{Stnlnk|Wick}} (the other terminates here). On Sundays, there is one train in each direction.[3]
