About Inter-City Express

The Inter-City Express programme would transform rail travel, bringing all seven of Scotland’s cities closer together through a safe, civilised and sustainable mode of transport. The key features of the programme are to:

• Double and electrify the largely single-track Inverness-Perth railway, transforming its capacity for passenger and freight traffic

• Reduce journey times from Inverness, Aberdeen and Dundee to the Central Belt through electrification and extensive doubling of the network

• Take the long-neglected single track rail line from Aberdeen to Inverness into the 21st Century

• Build and electrify a new direct rail link from Perth to Edinburgh, slashing up to 35 minutes off journey times from Inverness and Perth to Edinburgh

• Create a new Inter-City rail hub at Perth station – the catalyst for transport connectivity and urban regeneration.
