History
This station opened by British Rail in May 1985. It comprises a single platform on the north side of the railway.
Signalling
On 6 December 1987, the station became a Token Exchange Point when the Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) system was commissioned by British Rail between Mallaig Junction (now called 'Fort William Junction') and Mallaig. The RETB is controlled from a Signalling Centre at Banavie railway station.
The Train Protection & Warning System was installed in 2003.
