158711 Inverness 9 March 2023

Framed by one of the arches at Inverness station, 158711 waits in platform 5 on 9 March 2023, after having arrived with the 2H56 08:02 ScotRail service from Wick. It would later depart with the 2H85 13:35 train to Kyle of Lochalsh. Inverness station was opened in 1855 by the Inverness & Nairn Railway. The original single platform station was expanded over the years, and now boasts seven platforms. Having escaped any 1960s route rationalisation, it still features lines to the Far North, and two routes to the south (via Dalwhinnie and Aberdeen).
