Services
From December 2008
There is generally an hourly service throughout the day between Glasgow and Aberdeen.
Three trains work north of Aberdeen as part of the Crossrail project - one each southbound from Inverurie and Dyce and a northbound service to Dyce.
Aberdeen Crossrail has increased the number of services stopping at Dyce with connections for Aberdeen Airport.[1]
Future
ScotRail has mentioned plans for an additional hourly service from Glasgow to Arbroath.[2] This would improve service frequencies for smaller stations on the line, such as Gleneagles.
