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 2 miles (3 km) inland of Scotland's west coast, near Loch Lundie. The station is 59 miles 58 chains (96.1 km) from Dingwall, between Kyle of Lochalsh and Plockton. [4] 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. [5]
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. [6] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
