The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Highland Main Line, Шаблон:Convert from Шаблон:Stnlnk, between Pitlochry and Dalwhinnie.

History
The station was opened by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway on 9 September 1863.Шаблон:Sfn
One of the first visitors to the station was Queen Victoria who arrived in a Royal Train on 15 September 1863 on a visit to Blair Castle to see George Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl who was very ill.[2] For its first thirty years until 1893, the station was named 'Blair Athole';Шаблон:Sfn the present B-listed station was renamed to its current name in the 1890s.Шаблон:Sfn
It originally had a 770-yards long passing loop which was flanked by the two platforms but this has since been extended northbound as double track as far as Шаблон:Rws.[3]
Facilities
There are benches on both platforms, with a waiting shelter on platform 2 and natural shelter from the station buildings on platform 1, with a small car park and bike racks adjacent to the latter. As well as the footbridge between the platforms, there is also step-free access to both platforms (from the car park to platform 1 and from the level crossing to platform 2).[4] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
Platform layout
The station has a passing loop Шаблон:Convert long, with two platforms. Platform 1 on the southbound line can accommodate trains having seven coaches, whereas platform 2 on the northbound line can hold eleven. Beyond here the line is double track as far as Шаблон:Rws.[1]
