A substantial 3-platform junction station with the main offices in a single-storey wooden building on the down platform and a large iron-framed shelter on the island platform, which had faces for the Inverness Direct and Inverness via Forres trains. There is a lattice-girder footbridge linking the platforms.

J R Hume 1977

Aviemore Station was opened on 3 August 1863 (from the N) and 9 September 1963 (from the S) by the Inverness and Perth Junction Rly. as an intermediate station on Mitchell's original main line (via Boat of Garten, Dava and Forres) from Perth (Stanley Junction) to Inverness. It was subsequently incorporated into the Highland Rly and was extensively remodelled by that company in 1892. It comprises four platforms (linked by a footbridge) with waiting rooms on both islands. The sttation is located centrally within the town, and forms the basis for a retail development.
