Nairn railway station is a railway station serving the town of Nairn in Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line. It is a category B listed building.[2] The station appeared as 'Inverness' in the 1970 film The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. HistoryThe station was first opened in 1855 by the Inverness and Nairn Railway. In 1857, the line was extended eastwards to Dalvey. The route from Aberdeen to Inverness was merged into one company, the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway, in 1861. Many of the local stations either side of here succumbed to the Beeching Axe between 1965 & 1968, though Nairn was one of those that survived the cutbacks. The station is {{convert|128|mi|72|chain|km|lk=in}} from {{stnlnk|Perth}} (measured via {{stnlnk|Dava}}), and has a passing loop {{convert|29|chain|m}} long, flanked by two platforms which can each accommodate an eight-coach train.{{sfn|Brailsford|2017|loc=map 18B}} The station was notable for being the last working example of Highland Railway signalling principles, where a signal box was provided at each end to work the signals & points whilst the key token instruments for working the single line were located in the main building. The distance between the boxes was such that a bicycle was officially provided by BR (and later Railtrack) for the signaller to use.[3] The practice came to an end in April 2000, when the station was resignalled with colour lights and control shifted to a panel in the station building - as a result, most passenger services use the northern (former eastbound) platform in both directions (the southern one is now only used by Aberdeen-bound services if two trains are scheduled to pass here). Control of the signalling at the station has since transferred to a new workstation in the Inverness signalling centre, following a 10-day line closure that also saw the loop at Elgin lengthened and a new station and loop commissioned at Forres.[4] A replacement bus service ran whilst the work was in progress, with the line reopening on schedule on 17 October 2017. ServicesThere is approximately one service per two hours in each direction, with some additional trains at weekday peak-times. The first morning eastbound service runs to {{rws|Dundee}} and Edinburgh Waverley, whilst the last evening service in the opposite direction comes from there; certain peak hour trains only run to/from {{rws|Elgin}}, including one through working from {{rws|Kyle of Lochalsh}}.[5] On Sundays, there are five trains each way between Aberdeen & Inverness, plus a pair of services from the latter that run only as far as Elgin. Transport Scotland and Scotrail intend to improve the service frequencies from here to Elgin & Inverness to hourly from 2018.[6]Notes1. ^{{cite book |editor-last=Brailsford |editor-first=Martyn |title=Railway Track Diagrams 1: Scotland & Isle of Man |edition=6th |date=December 2017 |origyear=1987 |publisher=Trackmaps |location=Frome |isbn=978-0-9549866-9-8 |chapter=Gaelic/English Station Index |ref=harv }} 2. ^1 {{Historic Environment Scotland|num=LB38454 |desc=NAIRN RAILWAY STATION|cat=B |access-date=10 January 2019}} 3. ^Section C - 2000The Signal Box; Retrieved 2013-10-09 4. ^[https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/engineers-set-to-begin-10-day-infrastructure-upgrade-between-inverness-keith Engineers set to begin 10-day infrastructure upgrade between Inverness-Keith]Network Rail Media Centre press release 5 October 2017; Retrieved 30 October 2017 5. ^GB National Rail Timetable May - December 2017, Table 240 6. ^"‘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=2016-08-20 }}Transport Scotland press release 15 March 2016; Retrieved 18 August 2016 Further reading
