Inverurie railway station is arailway station serving the town ofInverurie,Aberdeenshire,Scotland. It is managed byScotRail and is on theAberdeen to Inverness Line, which is mostly single track north of this point, betweenKintore andInsch. It is measured 16 miles 72 chains (27.2 kilometres) fromAberdeen.^[5]

The first station, then calledInverury, was opened on 20 September 1854 on theGreat North of Scotland Railway main line which ran betweenAberdeen Waterloo andKeith stations.^[6] It was situated 805 metres (880 yd) south of the present station.^[3] In 1856 it became the junction station for the new Inverury and Old Meldrum Junction Railway branch line toOldmeldrum. RenamedInverurie in 1866,^[6] it was replaced in 1902 with a new building with three platforms at the present location close to theInverurie Locomotive Works which was then being built.^[7] The station ceased to be a junction station in 1931 when the branch line was closed to passengers although freight traffic continued until 1966.^[8]

The station,Category B listed, is single storied and has a cupola with windvane.^[8][4]

The branch line to Oldmeldrum was opened by theInverury and Old Meldrum Junction Railway company in 1856 and ran viaLethenty toOld Meldrum station (as it was then called).^[6] A proposed extension to theBanff, Macduff and Turriff Junction Railway was considered but this was never built. The line was closed for passengers in 1931.^[6]

Both platforms are equipped with shelters, help points and benches. Platform 1 also has a staffed ticket office, a ticket machine, separate waiting room and bike racks, which is also adjacent to the car park. There is a step-free access path at the end of the platforms, although there is also a footbridge in the centre of the station.^[9]

The statistics cover twelve month periods that start in April.

As of May 2022, the stations sees approximately 1 train every 2 hours betweenAberdeen andInverness, calling at all stations, as well as an hourly shuttle toMontrose. One per day continues toEdinburgh Waverley and one toStonehaven. There are additional shuttle services between here and Aberdeen to fill gaps in the service, giving 2 - 3 trains per hour between here and Aberdeen.^[11]

Service frequencies improved here from 2018 as part of the timetable recast funded byTransport Scotland. A new "Aberdeen Crossrail" commuter service was introduced from here toMontrose, which calls at all intermediate stations en route once per hour.^[12] There are now at least two departures each hour to Aberdeen, with the existing through services to Inverness, Edinburgh & Glasgow maintained or increased in number. A £170 million project to upgrade the Aberdeen to Inverness route saw the line from Aberdeen redoubled in between June and August 2019.^[13]
