Pitlochry railway station serves the town of Pitlochry in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is served by Abellio ScotRail trains between Glasgow or Edinburgh and Inverness, the Caledonian Sleeper to/from London Euston and the daily Virgin Trains East Coast service between London King's Cross and Inverness via York and the East Coast Main Line.

The station is situated on the former Inverness and Perth Junction Railway and was opened along with the line in 1863. The newly formed Highland Railway took over in 1865.

Services

All Highland main line services between Perth & Inverness call here (11 departures each way per day in total), providing links to both Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh Waverley as well as the daytime & sleeper services to London (the sleeper doesn't run northbound on Sundays or southbound on Saturday nights). There are seven trains each way per day each way on Sundays.

From 2018, this station will be one of those to benefit from a package of timetable enhancements introduced by Transport Scotland and Scotrail. The current Perth to Inverness timetable will increase to hourly each way, with trains south of there running on alternate hours to Edinburgh & Glasgow. Journey times will also be reduced by 10 minutes to both cities.
