Services

From December 2008

There is generally an hourly service throughout the day between Glasgow and Aberdeen.

Three trains work north of Aberdeen as part of the Crossrail project - one each southbound from Inverurie and Dyce and a northbound service to Dyce.

Aberdeen Crossrail has increased the number of services stopping at Dyce with connections for Aberdeen Airport.[1]

Future

ScotRail has mentioned plans for an additional hourly service from Glasgow to Arbroath.[2] This would improve service frequencies for smaller stations on the line, such as Gleneagles.
