History

The station opened on 1 June 1864, as part of the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, later the Highland Railway and then the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.[2]

Facilities

As well as a small car park, there are bike racks, a bench, a waiting shelter and a help point. The station has step free access.[3] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.

Platform layout

The railway through Fearn station is single track, the nearest passing loops being at Шаблон:Stnlnk to the south and Шаблон:Stnlnk to the west. The station has a single platform which is long enough for a seven-coach train.Шаблон:Sfn The platform is very low and this gives rise to difficulties for passengers who are in any way infirm and unable to climb the height to the coaches, so there are portable steps available at the station. At the approach to Fearn station, conductors are obliged to use public address systems to warn alighting passengers of the low platform, and they also frequently do this when inspecting tickets of passengers travelling to Fearn.Шаблон:Citation needed
