The main concourse of the rebuilt station looking north
Description
In the century since the new station opened has there have been many changes. 1923 saw the Grouping of the Railways with the GNSR and NBR becoming part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and the Caledonian part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS). In 1948 both were absorbed into the nationalised British Railways. The 1930s saw mixed fortunes; new and improved rolling stock was introduced including more powerful locomotives. Conversely bus competition was decimating traffic on branch lines including Deeside and Buchan; suburban trains ceased in 1937. During World War 2 all the glass was removed from the station roof and replaced by plywood to avoid the effects of blast and comply with blackout regulations. The sections were carefully stored under a disused platform at Fyvie station until the end of the war.
