Gleneagles railway station serves the town of Auchterarder in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. HistoryThe station was opened by the Scottish Central Railway on 14 March 1856 and was originally named Crieff Junction.[1] There was another station with the name of Crieff Junction to the north of this station which was only short-lived. The branch northwestward to {{rws|Crieff}} was opened (by the Crieff Junction Railway company) on the same day. On 1 April 1912 it was renamed Gleneagles.[2] The station was rebuilt and the junction remodelled by the Caledonian Railway in 1919 following their takeover of the Scottish Central Railway. The Caledonian Railway built the nearby Gleneagles Hotel, which opened in 1925. The hotel served as the location for the G8 summit in 2005 and is a well-known golf resort; Gleneagles hosted the 2014 Ryder Cup. In anticipation of the 2014 Ryder Cup, Gleneagles railway station underwent a major refurbishment as part of a £7 million program to improve transport infrastructure in the area. Work was completed in April 2014, seeing the old station building regenerated with a lift, new platforms built upon the original ones, the fitting of Passenger information boards, additional regenerative paint work and a newly built car park built to connect with the new main road from the motorway. The branch line to Crieff closed on 6 July 1964 due to the Beeching Axe. ServicesOn weekdays and Saturdays there are 14 services to Glasgow Queen Street and two to Edinburgh Waverley southbound and 15 to {{rws|Perth}} northbound; most of these continue to either {{rws|Dundee}} or {{rws|Aberdeen}}, though there are also a limited number of trains to/from {{rws|Inverness}} via the Highland Main Line.[3] The service frequency is however somewhat irregular, with large gaps in the timetable at certain times of day. Gleneagles is also served by the daily Highland Chieftain through service between Inverness and London King's Cross and the Caledonian Sleeper to London Euston each evening except Saturdays. From 2018, services from the station will be increased as part of a timetable upgrade package backed by Transport Scotland. A regular hourly-interval each way service between Glasgow, Perth, and Dundee will be introduced that will stop here.[4] {{rail start}}{{rail line|previous={{Stnlnk|Dunblane}}|next=Perth|route=London North Eastern RailwayEast Coast Main Line|col={{NXEC colour}}}}{{rail line|previous={{Stnlnk|Dunblane}}|next=Perth|route=Abellio ScotRail Highland Main Line |col={{ScotRail colour}} }}{{rail line|previous={{Stnlnk|Dunblane}}|next=Perth|route=Caledonian Sleeper Highland Caledonian Sleeper |col={{CS color}} }}{{Historical Rail Insert}}{{rail line |previous = {{Stnlnk|Blackford}} Line open; Station closed |next = {{Stnlnk|Auchterarder}} Line open; Station closed |route = Caledonian Railway Scottish Central Railway |col = {{Caledonian colour}} |lightcol={{Caledonian light}} }}{{rail line |previous = |next = {{Stnlnk|Tullibardine}} Line open; Station closed |route = Caledonian Railway Crieff Junction Railway |col = {{Caledonian colour}} |lightcol={{Caledonian light}} }}{{s-end}} References1. ^{{harvnb|Butt|1995|p=71}} 2. ^{{harvnb|Butt|1995|pp=71,104}} 3. ^GB National Rail Timetable May–December 2016, Table 229 (Network Rail) 4. ^"‘Rail revolution’ means 200 more services and 20,000 more seats for Scots passengers" {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820113818/http://www.transport.gov.scot/news/%E2%80%98rail-revolution%E2%80%99-means-200-more-services-and-20000-more-seats-scots-passengers |date=20 August 2016 }}Transport Scotland press release 15 March 2016; Retrieved 18 August 2016 Sources
