Inverness train station has re-opened following a fire which evacuated the building earlier this afternoon.
All Inverness trains were cancelled while firefighters attended Academy Street around 2.55pm.
Dozens of travellers and staff members were forced to evacuate the station as two fire crews arrived on scene.
ScotRail posted on X: “We’ve received reports of a fire near Inverness station, and as a result no services can run in or out of the station until further notice.
“We’ll keep you updated.”
Inverness train station reopens after fire
Images from the scene show a charred office chair and other pieces of debris on the ground outside the unit where the blaze broke out.
It’s understood the carpet also caught fire.
Travellers were allowed back in to the station at around 4pm as crews left the scene.
ScotRail also confirmed they had been sourcing bus replacement services between Inverness and Perth for passengers left stranded.
The incident comes just a week after a gas leak from a freight train at Inverness Maintenance Depot.
All Inverness trains were cancelled for several hours, and the Eastgate Shopping Centre and Morrisons supermarket were evacuated as a precaution.
