Like most stations in the United Kingdom, Inverness is owned by Network Rail. However, it is leased to First ScotRail who operate most of the services using the station. GNER run the only non-ScotRail service: the daily Highland Chieftain to London King's Cross.

The station itself sits at one apex of a triangular junction in the centre of Inverness. Of the seven platforms, only one is linked to two sides of the triangle. The Highland Main and Aberdeen Lines both approach the station from the east, while the Far North Line (which also carries traffic heading for the Kyle Line) approach from the north-west.
