Our new hire car stands in the forecourt of Forres

station. The rather utilitarian structure was opened in 1955 by British Railways replacing the original structure. When I last visited in 1984 I took a very similar view to this, but rather than a Toyota Aygo in the car park there was a Renault 18 taxi! Plans have been just been announced for a brand new station at Forres and major track realignment removing the curved section of track in and out of the present station. This plan will also lead to the closure of the signal box a short distance to the east of the station.
