History
Originally named "Tyndrum", this station opened concurrently with the West Highland Railway in 1894, as the second station in the village. In 1956, British Rail added the suffix "Upper" to the station's name, to distinguish it from the station on the Callander and Oban Line which then became known as . In 1988 when RETB was introduced to the line, The station's name was changed from Tyndrum Upper to "Upper Tyndrum" (see below), to reduce the risk of it being confused with "Tyndrum Lower" in radio communications on the nearby Oban line
