The station seen in 1996. Note the overgrown siding on the right.

This station opened to passengers on 7 August 1894.Шаблон:Sfnp

The station was laid out with a crossing loop and an island platform. There were sidings on both sides, and a turntable on the west side of the line.[2]

The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939.Шаблон:Sfnp A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1964 to 1967.Шаблон:Sfnp

Until the 1960s, the station was served by a local shuttle service between Craigendoran and Шаблон:Rws in addition to main line trains to Fort William and Mallaig. Latterly operated by a Wickham diesel railbus, it fell victim to the Beeching Axe in June 1964.[3]

Facilities

The island platform is equipped with benches, a help point, a car park and bike racks, the latter two located outside the station. The only access to the station is via a subway, some steps and a ramp, so the station does not have step-free access.[4] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
