Background
History
This station opened to passengers on 7 August 1894. 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. The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1964 to 1967. Until the 1960s, the station was served by a local shuttle service between Craigendoran and 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.
