Invergordon railway station is a railway station serving the town of Invergordon on the Cromarty Firth, in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is located on the Far North Line, {{convert|31|mi|37|chain|km|lk=in}} from {{stnlnk|Inverness}}.{{sfn|Brailsford|2017|loc=map 18D}} The station consists of two side platforms, which can each accommodate an eight-coach train, flanking a passing loop {{convert|34|chain|m}} long on the predominantly single-track line from {{stnlnk|Dingwall}} to {{stnlnk|Thurso}} and {{stnlnk|Wick}}.{{sfn|Brailsford|2017|loc=map 18D}} The permanent station buildings are all on the southbound platform, the northbound platform having a simple shelter. As of 2011 the buildings are not in use. In 2008/2009, the station underwent a brightening-up programme run by the Invergordon "Off The Wall" group. Northbound, leaving the station, the track snakes under a one-way road bridge and runs alongside Park Primary school until turning into single track; it then runs through the Invergordon distillery and Inverbreakie housing estate. It then enters the woods. The station's usage has more than doubled since 2004/2005. GeographyThe station is located at the south end of Invergordon high street and is easily accessible from all areas of Invergordon, the closest area being the densely populated area of South lodge. ServicesThe station has seen a number of timetable improvements since 2008, with the addition of an extra through train each way to/from Wick on weekdays and further shorter distance services to/from Inverness aimed at the commuter market (these mainly run as far as {{rws|Tain}} or {{rws|Ardgay}}). Prior to this, 3 departures in each direction was the standard service on the line for many years.[2] In the May 2016 timetable, there are seven trains from (plus an extra late service on Fridays & Saturdays only) and nine trains to Inverness Mon-Sat with four of these running the length of the line to Thurso & Wick. On Sundays, there is a single train to/from Wick and five to Inverness (three of these run to Tain whilst the other starts here).[3] {{Rail start}}{{Rail line|previous = {{Stnlnk|Alness}} |next = {{Stnlnk|Fearn}} |route = Abellio ScotRail Far North Line |col = {{ScotRail colour}} }}{{Historical Rail Insert}}{{rail line |previous = {{Stnlnk|Alness}} Line and station open |next = {{Stnlnk|Delny}} Line open; Station closed |route = Highland Railway Inverness and Ross-shire Railway |col = {{HR colour}} |lightcol={{HR light}} }}{{s-end}} RAF Sunderland crashOn 26 November 1944, Royal Air Force Short Sunderland DD851 of the No. 4 (Coastal) Operational Training Unit departed Cromarty Firth, RAF Alness on an anti-submarine patrol of the North Sea off the coast of Scotland.
