Stromeferry railway station is a station on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line, serving the village of Stromeferry in the Highlands, northern Scotland. Stromeferry lies on the southern shore of Loch Carron, across from the ruined Strome Castle, near the west coast. It is one of five mandatory calling points on the Kyle line, along with {{rws|Plockton}}, {{rws|Strathcarron}}, {{rws|Achnasheen}} and {{rws|Garve}}.

The station is {{convert|53|mi|15|chain|km|lk=in}} from {{stnlnk|Dingwall}}, and has a single platform which is long enough for an eight-coach train.{{sfn|Brailsford|2017|loc=map 22D}}

History

The station opened for passenger traffic on 19 August 1870[1]

On 3 June 1883 the station was occupied by 150 Sabbatarians, defeating the local police force and railway employees, to prevent the despatch of fish to London. They were objecting to the transport of fish on a Sunday.[2]

The station was destroyed by fire along with a train of 14 vehicles on 16 October 1891.[3]

For the first 27 years of its existence it was the line's terminus, bringing prosperity to the village. Steamer services linked to Portree on Skye, and Stornoway on Lewis. With the opening of the extension to Kyle of Lochalsh, steamer services were transferred there.

In the 1970s under British Rail, Stromeferry became the railhead for the Kishorn Yard. Construction material was brought in by train, then transferred by ship.

Services

Four trains each way call on weekdays/Saturdays and one each way all year on Sundays, plus a second from May to late September only.[4]
