Scope and Content Inverness Station, Station Square, Inverness, Highland This shows the platforms built for the Inverness & Ross-shire trains, and later extended, with the station buildings in the background. The train headed by the diesel locomotive is for Wick and Thurso, and the coach to its left is in one of the south-bound platforms. The north-bound and south-bound platforms are linked by a line which forms a triangle with them. Thus, to get a train from one to the other requires a reversal. Through working has always been awkward, but some trains now work through from Edinburgh and Glasgow to Wick and Thurso. The first station on this site was opened in 1855 by the Inverness & Nairn Railway. It was enlarged in the 1860s to cope with trains on the Inverness & Perth Junction Railway, and on the Inverness & Ross-shire Railway, and has been modified on several occasions since.
