The line between Aberdeen and the central belt is to be upgraded.
Railway upgrades that could slash journey times between Aberdeen and the central belt by more than 20 minutes are on track to be completed in five years’ time.
Major improvements are to be carried out to the East Coast Main Line as part of the Aberdeen City Region Deal at a cost of £200 million.
There have been repeated calls for the line to be upgraded for more than a decade, with business chiefs claiming shorter journey times will lead to more business opportunities and encourage new visitors.

Plans for major upgrades at a notorious north-east road junction are being held up by an unsafe bridge, a new report has revealed.
Under proposals for a new grade-separated interchange on the A90 at Laurencekirk, the existing exit at Oatyhill would be blocked off, leaving residents of a number of properties with a single point of access over the 170-year-old Oatyhill railway bridge.
