Tulloch railway station is a rural railway station in the remote Tulloch area of the Highland region of Scotland. This station is on the West Highland Line, {{convert|105|mi|km}} north of {{stnlnk|Glasgow Queen Street}}.

History

The station was laid out with two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop. There are sidings on the north side of the station. When the railway opened in 1894 the station was named Inverlair, after the nearby Inverlair Lodge.

The station buildings are now used as a hostel.[1]

During the construction of the Lochaber hydroelectric scheme in the 1930s a small halt was located at Fersit, a short distance south on the line towards Corrour.

Signalling

The signal box, which had 15 levers, was situated on the Up platform. From the time of its opening in 1894, the West Highland Railway was worked throughout by the electric token system.

The semaphore signals were removed on 23 February 1986 in preparation for the introduction of Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) by British Rail.

The RETB system was commissioned between {{Stnlnk|Upper Tyndrum}} and Fort William Junction on 29 May 1988. This resulted in the closure of Tulloch signal box and others on that part of the line. The RETB is controlled from a Signalling Centre at Banavie railway station.

The Train Protection & Warning System was installed in 2003.

Services

2016 services

Monday to Saturday, northbound, Tulloch has three services to {{stnlnk|Mallaig}} and one service to Fort William (the Highland Caledonian Sleeper). Southbound, there are three services to Glasgow Queen Street and one service to London Euston (Highland Caledonian Sleeper, Saturdays excepted). On Sundays, there is just one service northbound to Mallaig (plus a second from May to late October), one service southbound to Glasgow Queen Street (two in summer) and one service (Highland Caledonian Sleeper) to London Euston.[2] The sleeper also carries seated coaches and can thus be used by regular travellers to both Glasgow and Edinburgh Waverley.
