What you need to know about the Aberdeen to Dyce rail closure
Your train will be replaced by a bus until August 20th
Last updated 14th May 2018
No trains will run between Aberdeen and Dyce between Saturday May 12th, and Sunday August 19th.
Why? The closure is to allow for major upgrade work to be carried out to bring better services to the North-east including more frequent services between Aberdeen and Inverurie, Intercity services between Aberdeen and Inverness and more through services from the central belt to Inverness, via Aberdeen.
Here’s the latest information on what the changes will mean for you if you’re travelling between Aberdeen and Dyce.
