Newtonmore railway station serves the village of Newtonmore, Highland, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Highland Main Line. The station is 68 miles 62 chains (110.7 km) from Perth, between Dalwhinnie and Kingussie, and has a single platform which is long enough for a ten-coach train.[4] It is currently the only station on the Highland Main Line to have one platform, although the former second platform can still be seen adjacent to the first platform.[4]
