Loch Eil Outward Bound railway station is a railway station on the northern bank of Loch Eil in the Highland region of Scotland. This station is on the West Highland Line, between Corpach and Locheilside, sited 4chain20chain from Banavie Junction, near Fort William.[3] ScotRail, who manage the station, operate all services.
This station opened by British Rail on 6 May 1985. Its name refers to the nearby Outward Bound centre that the station was built to serve.[4]
The station has a single platform equipped with a shelter, a bench, a help point and some bike racks, as well as a small car park. The station has step-free access from the car park, as well as to the waterfront at Loch Eil.[5] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
