Aviemore Railway Station

✓ Station Visit 121

Holiday Time! A favourite holiday destination for Rudy, there also just coincidentally happens to be a heritage railway here. Rudy has been on nineteen trains to & from Aviemore! The first was on the 13th of June 2022 and most recently on the 15th of July 2025.

Aviemore opened in 1863 when the railway north to Inverness was via Grantown-on-Spey & Forres. In 1898 a more direct route to Inverness opened and the station was rebuilt as a junction. The choice to build a very grand station encouraged Aviemore’s growth from a few railway cottages into a tourist destination. The original Speyside Line north from Aviemore was closed in the 1960s but taken over as a preserved heritage railway in 1978. Since 1998 the Strathspey Railway has used platform 3 at Aviemore station as their southern terminus.
