Inverness Airport railway station is set to benefit from state-of-the-art signalling technology that promises to "transform" the everyday journeys of people in the northeast of Scotland.
The station, which is the newest in Scotland, officially opened on February 2. It is the country's first new airport station in nearly three decades, and has improved the overall connectivity of the Highlands and Islands region.
The "future-proof solution" is also being installed as part of a project to improve the travel time between Aberdeen and the central belt.
The new system, which combines "the best in modular, digital, and network-based technology", will be installed as part of the Signalling Collaborative Partnership.
It will utilise signalling technology manufactured by Siemens Mobility, marking the first time the innovative modular system has ever been used in Scotland.

The system allows for testing in a factory environment, making installation easier and more straightforward, whilst lightweight technology cuts down on the need for heavyweight machinery and construction, providing both environmental and cost savings.
With the introduction of the technology in Scotland, Siemens Mobility is aiming to improve the overall experience of travelling for passengers by delivering smoother and safer journeys, while reducing the operating cost for
