The Glasgow–Aberdeen line is a railway line linking Glasgow with Aberdeen via Stirling, Perth and Dundee.

Most of the route is shared with other services:

The route comprises the following historical railway lines:

There is generally an hourly service throughout the day between Glasgow and Aberdeen. In the current (May 2016) timetable, there are also a few additional services between Glasgow & Dundee which offer connections at the latter for stations further north.

Three trains work north of Aberdeen as part of the Crossrail project – one each southbound from Inverurie and Dyce and a northbound service to Dyce.

Aberdeen Crossrail has increased the number of services stopping at Dyce with connections for Aberdeen Airport.

ScotRail has mentioned plans for an additional hourly service from Glasgow to Arbroath. This would improve service frequencies for smaller stations on the line, such as Gleneagles.
