Aberdeen railway station remains single-track. Much of this is in tunnels, which would have required track lowering to support two tracks. The same year, Dyce and Inverurie signal boxes were closed with control between Kittybrewster to Insch also transferred to the Highland signalling centre. The platforms at Insch railway station were also extended. Kintore railway station was reopened in October 2020. Inverness Airport railway station (close to the site of the former Dalcross railway station) opened in February 2023. Current services All passenger services are operated by ScotRail.

Raith's Farm freight yard at serves Aberdeen. In addition to through services, local services operate at each end of the line. An hourly service operates between Elgin and Inverness, while a half-hourly service operates between Inverurie and Aberdeen. Approximately one train per hour continues to Montrose, creating an hourly stopping service between Inverurie and Montrose. The line serves the following stations: Future There are currently plans to extend some of the services and increase the frequency of trains between Inverurie and Aberdeen. This will be part of the Aberdeen Crossrail project. Transport Scotland is also funding an infrastructure improvement project on the route between 2015 and 2030. Once this work is completed, the line will support an hourly service with a two-hour journey time stopping at all stations between Aberdeen and Inverness. In the Scottish Government's National Transport Strategy, published in February 2020, it was stated that the line between Aberdeen and Inverurie would be electrified with overhead lines by 2035. The remainder of the route will also be electrified but at a later date. Reference outside Scotland There is a residence hall at the University of California, Riverside that is named after the Aberdeen-Inverness rail line. The Aberdeen-Inverness Residence Hall was the first residence hall at the university and is still in operation today. Originally, Aberdeen, A and B wings, was all male. Inverness, D and E wings, was all female. By the early 1970s, the twin residences became fully coeducational.
