station sign read Inbhirpheofharain (incorrectly written as one word). Transport Scotland acknowledged the error and indicated that the correct signage would be erected during 2014. The signage is now corrected. Accidents and incidents In 1897, an evening train from Dingwall heading towards Garve stopped short of a summit, and the rear coaches of the train ran back down the steep ascent towards Dingwall, as the coupling failed. They stopped just before reaching the junction to the north of the station. The only damage was to some level crossing gates, which were demolished by the coaches. On 22 January 2010, a Class 158 Express Sprinter unit (158701) working the 17:15 Inverness to service derailed at Dingwall; nobody was badly injured, but one female passenger was taken to hospital as a precaution. Facilities Both platforms have benches and help points, with most of the main facilities sited on platform 1, being a concourse, a disabled toilet, ticket office, and a bar. There is a small car park (adjacent to which is a payphone) and bike racks next to platform 1. Platform 2 also has a waiting room and a shelter. Both platforms have step-free access. New annunciator LED screens have been installed on both platforms, giving information on the next three trains to arrive, and general security information.
