ScotRail has released plans to change the hours at its staffed ticket offices which could result in shorter opening times throughout the week. In the north and north-east, changes are proposed at stations including Huntly, Aviemore, Dingwall, Forres, Elgin, Keith, Kingussie and Nairn.

Many stations will have a change in the pattern of opening hours. The previous pattern was of Monday to Friday hours, which will now be replaced with Monday to Thursday hours with changes to the service on a Friday.

Rail passengers doubtless welcomed the recent news that Transport Scotland had awarded a £10 million contract for upgrading crossing loops at Aviemore and Pitlochry as part of a wider £57m programme to enhance the largely single-track Highland Main Line (HML) from Perth to Inverness. But - compared with the steady progress of the £3bn dualling of the parallel A9 road - is that rail funding enough to make trains fully competitive with the car, the coach and the lorry?
