It is {{convert|118|mi|km|abbr=on}} long and runs through the central [[Scottish Highlands]], mainly following the route of the [[A9 road (Scotland)|A9]], and linking a series of small towns and villages with [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]] at one end and [[Inverness]] at the other. Today, services between Inverness and [[Edinburgh]], [[Glasgow]] and [[London]] use the line. At Inverness the line connects with the [[Far North Line]], the [[Aberdeen to Inverness Line|Aberdeen-Inverness Line]] and the [[Kyle of Lochalsh Line]]. Since the line is not electrified all trains are diesel-powered. Much of the Highland Main Line is [[Single track (rail)|single track]], and trains coming in opposite directions are often timed to arrive at stations at the same time, where [[Passing loop|crossing loops]] permit them to pass. Journey times between Inverness and Edinburgh or Glasgow are approximately three and a half hours.<ref name="traveltimes">Highland Main Line timetables at https://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/download_ct/edinburgh_glasgow_-_inverness_0.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160418043153/http://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/download_ct/edinburgh_glasgow_-_inverness_0.pdf |date=18 April 2016 }}</ref> == History == [[File:01roadandrail 20000900.jpg|thumb|left|Highland Main Line and [[A9 road (Scotland)|A9]] next to each other in [[Perthshire]], September 2000]] [[File:Dalguise viaduct (geograph 3418380).jpg|thumb|left|The line crosses the [[Dalguise Viaduct]]]] The vast majority of the line was built and operated by the [[Highland Railway]], with a small section of the line between Perth and [[Stanley, Perthshire|Stanley]] built by the [[Scottish Midland Junction Railway]], amalgamated with the [[Aberdeen Railway]] to become the [[Scottish North Eastern Railway]] in 1856, and then absorbed by the [[Caledonian Railway]] in 1866. Originally, the line between Inverness and Perth went via [[Forres]], but the [[Inverness and Aviemore Direct Railway]] was opened in 1898 to allow for a more direct routeing.

Initially the only double track was between Inverness and Daviot and also Stanley Junction and Perth. In the 1890s the single line working was improved with the replacement of telegraphing orders to trains along the line with staff and tablet control instruments. This was later upgraded to automatic token-exchange apparatus. However, the main improvement came with the doubling of sections of line, designed by the engineer [[Alexander Newlands]], beginning with Blair Atholl to Dalnacardoch ({{convert|8.25|mi|km}}) in 1900, extended to Druimuachdar ({{convert|8.5|mi|km}}) in 1901 and Dalwhinnie ({{convert|5.5|mi|km}}) in 1909.<ref name=Thomas>{{cite book |last1=Thomas |first1=John |last2=Turnock |first2=David |date=1989 |title=A Regional History of the Railways of Great Britain.

A roughly two-hourly ScotRail service operates between [[Perth railway station, Scotland|Perth]] and [[Inverness railway station|Inverness]] throughout the day, with 11 services in total in each direction, all running from/to either {{Stnlnk|Glasgow Queen Street}} (via [[Stirling railway station (Scotland)|Stirling]]) or {{Stnlnk|Edinburgh Waverley}} (via [[Kirkcaldy railway station|Kirkcaldy]]). The [[London North Eastern Railway]] service is entitled the ''[[Highland Chieftain]]''; it departs Inverness at 08:00 and runs to [[London King's Cross railway station|London King's Cross]] via the [[East Coast Main Line]], arriving in London at 16:00. The return working leaves London at 12:00 and reaches Inverness at 20:00. The ''[[Caledonian Sleeper]]'' travels overnight between Inverness and [[Euston railway station|London Euston]] via the [[West Coast Main Line]]. The southbound train joins portions from [[Aberdeen railway station|Aberdeen]] and [[Fort William railway station|Fort William]] at Edinburgh Waverley, and similarly the northbound train divides there. South of Edinburgh it forms the longest [[locomotive]]-hauled passenger train in the United Kingdom, with 16 coaches. All trains between Perth and Inverness call at [[Pitlochry railway station|Pitlochry]], [[Kingussie railway station|Kingussie]] and [[Aviemore railway station|Aviemore]]. Most ScotRail services call at [[Dunkeld & Birnam railway station|Dunkeld & Birnam]] (8 north and 10 south) and at [[Blair Atholl railway station|Blair Atholl]] (8 north and 6 south), with the stations at [[Dalwhinnie railway station|Dalwhinnie]] (5 each way), [[Newtonmore railway station|Newtonmore]] and [[Carrbridge railway station|Carrbridge]] being served less often. On Sundays, a couple of services continue through to [[Elgin railway station|Elgin]], calling at [[Nairn railway station|Nairn]] and [[Forres railway station|Forres]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/download_ct/edinburgh_glasgow_-_inverness_0.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=5 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160418043153/http://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/download_ct/edinburgh_glasgow_-_inverness_0.pdf |archive-date=18 April 2016 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> {{wide image|Culloden Viaduct01 2007-08-22.jpg|900px|Panoramic view of the Highland Line [[Culloden Viaduct]] with a [[First ScotRail]] train on it}} == Rolling stock == {{clear}} {| class="wikitable" ! rowspan="2" |Class ! rowspan="2" |Image ! rowspan="2" |Type ! rowspan="2" |Operator ! rowspan="2" |Route ! colspan="2" |Maximum Speed ! rowspan="2" |Builder/<br>built ! rowspan="2" |In service<br>on the line ! rowspan="2" |Leased from ! rowspan="2" |Other notes |- !mph !km/h |- |[[British Rail Class 43 (HST)|43]] |[[File:43134 and 43148 at Pitlochry.jpg|120x120px|alt=]] |[[Diesel locomotive]] |rowspan="2"| [[ScotRail]] |rowspan="2"| [[Glasgow Central station|Glasgow]]/[[Edinburgh Waverley railway station|Edinburgh]] to [[Inverness railway station|Inverness]] | rowspan="3" align="center" |125 | rowspan="3" align="center" |200 | [[British Rail Engineering Limited|BREL]] [[Crewe Works]] 1975–1982 |rowspan="2"| 2018– |rowspan="2"| [[Angel Trains]] |rowspan="2"| * Operates under the brand ''Inter7City''. * Fleet consists of 9 four-coach and 17 five-coach trains. * 1 four coach train damaged in the [[Stonehaven derailment]]. |- |[[British Rail Mark 3|Mark 3]] | [[File:ScotRailMk3.jpg|ScotRail refurbished Mk3 at Inverness, July 2020|120x120px|alt=]] |[[British Rail Mark 3|Passenger carriage]] | BREL [[Derby Litchurch Lane Works]] 1979-1980 |- |[[British Rail Class 67|67]] |[[File:67028 at Doncaster 220623 (52993632609).jpg|120x120px|alt=]] |[[Diesel locomotive]] | rowspan="3" | [[Caledonian Sleeper]] |London Euston to Inverness<br>(Takes over from electric loco at Edinburgh) |[[Alstom]] Valencia 1999-2000 |2023- |[[DB Cargo UK]] |Replaced Class 73/9 when their lease from DB Cargo UK Expired. |- |[[British Rail Mark 5 (CAF)|Mark 5 Passenger Coach]] | rowspan="2" |[[File:CAF mk5 sleeper coach.jpg|120x120px]] | rowspan="2" |[[Lounge car]]<br />[[Passenger car (rail)|Seated Sleeper]] <br> [[Sleeping car]] | rowspan="2" |London Euston to Inverness | rowspan="2" align="center" |100 | rowspan="2" align "center" |161 | rowspan="2" |[[Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles|CAF]] [[Beasain]] 2016-2018 | rowspan="2" |2019– | rowspan="2" |Caledonian Sleeper Rail Leasing |Replaced the Mark 2s |- |[[British Rail Mark 5 (CAF)|Mark 5 Sleeper Coach]] |Replaced the Mark 3s |- | [[British Rail Class 158|158/0 ''Express Sprinter'']] | [[File:Train at Tain (geograph 5928278).jpg|120x120px]] | rowspan="3"| [[Diesel multiple unit|DMU]] |rowspan="3"| [[ScotRail]] | rowspan="3" | [[Glasgow Central station|Glasgow]]/[[Edinburgh Waverley railway station|Edinburgh]] to [[Inverness railway station|Inverness]] | align="center" |90 | align="center" |145 | BREL Derby Litchurch Lane Works 1989—1992 | 1990- | rowspan="3" |[[Porterbrook]] | rowspan="3" | |- |rowspan=2|[[British Rail Class 170|170/3 & 170/4 ''Turbostar'']] |[[File:170396 at Inverkeithing, 08 May 2013.JPG|120x120px|alt=]] |rowspan=2 align=center|100 |rowspan=2 align=center|161 | rowspan="2" | [[AdTranz]]/[[Bombardier Transportation]] Derby Litchurch lane Works 1998-2005 | rowspan="2" | 1999- |- |[[File:Falkirk High - Abellio 170434 Glasgow service.JPG|120x120px]] |- | [[British Rail Class 800|Class 800 ''Azuma'']] | [[File:Azuma 800103 travelling north at Ulgham Lane crossing.jpg|120x120px|alt=]] | [[Bi-mode multiple unit]] | [[London North Eastern Railway]] | [[London King's Cross railway station|London King's Cross]]/[[Edinburgh Waverley railway station|Edinburgh]] to [[Inverness railway station|Inverness]] | 125 | 200 | [[Hitachi Newton Aycliffe]] 2014-2018 | 2019– | [[Agility Trains]] | * Service is titled the ''[[Highland Chieftain]]''. * Fleet consists of 10 five-coach and 13 nine-coach trains. |} ==Usage== Station usage at some stations remain stable.
