Duirinish railway station is a remote railway station on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line near the settlement of Duirinish in the Highlands, northern Scotland. The station is approximately 2miles inland of Scotland's west coast, near Loch Lundie. The station is 59miles from, between Kyle of Lochalsh and Plockton.[3] ScotRail, who manage the station, operate all services here.
The station was built by the Kyle of Lochalsh Extension (Highland Railway) between Stromeferry and Kyle of Lochalsh, opening on 2 November 1897.[4]
Facilities here, like many other stations on the line, are incredibly basic, consisting just of a shelter, a help point, some bike racks and a bench, although the station does have step-free access.[5] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
