Scope and Content Keith Junction Station, Moray This shows the east end of the station from the east, viewed from an Aberdeen-Inverness diesel multiple-unit train. The bay platforms in the centre served the Banff and Moray Coast trains, and the platform on the left was used for trains to Dufftown, Craigellachie and beyond. Keith was the main interchange point between the Great North of Scotland and Highland Railways. The closure in the 1960s of most of the lines it had served had led by 1971 to considerable rationalisation of the track layout. The station buildings seen here were demolished and new ones built in the 1980s. This station was opened in 1858 as a joint station between the Great North of Scotland and Inverness & Aberdeen Junction Railways. In 1862 it was altered to a triangular layout when the Keith & Dufftown Railway was opened. It also served as a terminus for services to Banff and to the Moray Coast.
