Berthed in platform 2 with its engine switched off was 158702, which I note is named - albeit with a rather small plaque - after the Scottish division of my employers. Above, the contrasting front ends of two generations of modern DMUs is interesting. |

| 158726 in platform 4 will work the 17:11 departure to Aberdeen. Due to the history of railways in the Highlands there used to be three railway routes between Inverness and Aberdeen. Today only one remains. |

| Ah! The romance of the Far North and Kyle Lines. Though in this case 158709 in platforms 6/7 is working a comparatively short commute to Ardgay, departing at 17:15. Platform 5, the platform face closest to the camera in the above photograph, is also connected to the south/Aberdeen lines , although there are significant restrictions and all such workings are for empty stock only. |
