History
The station was opened by the Scottish Central Railway on 14 March 1856 and was originally named Crieff Junction.[1] There was another station with the name of Crieff Junction to the north of this station which was only short-lived. The branch northwestward to Шаблон:Rws was opened (by the Crieff Junction Railway company) on the same day. On 1 April 1912 it was renamed Gleneagles.[2]
The station was rebuilt and the junction remodelled by the Caledonian Railway in 1919 following their takeover of the Scottish Central Railway. The Caledonian Railway built the nearby Gleneagles Hotel, which opened in 1925. The hotel served as the location for the G8 summit in 2005 and is a well-known golf resort; Gleneagles hosted the 2014 Ryder Cup.
In anticipation of the 2014 Ryder Cup, Gleneagles railway station underwent a major refurbishment as part of a £7 million program to improve transport infrastructure in the area. Work was completed in April 2014, seeing the old station building regenerated with a lift, new platforms built upon the original ones, the fitting of Passenger information boards, additional regenerative paint work and a newly built car park built to connect with the new main road from the motorway.[3]
The branch line to Crieff closed on 6 July 1964 due to the Beeching Axe.
Services
On weekdays and Saturdays there is a basic hourly service to Шаблон:Stnlnk southbound and to Шаблон:Rws northbound; most of these continue to Шаблон:Stnlnk.[4] A few early morning and late evening trains run through to Шаблон:Stnlnk. On Sundays, an irregular service is provided by calls on certain Glasgow to Aberdeen or Шаблон:Rws trains.
Gleneagles is also served by the daily Highland Chieftain through service between Inverness and London King's Cross and the Caledonian Sleeper to London Euston each evening except Saturdays. Connections for Шаблон:Rws are available at Stirling at other times.
