Corpach Railway Station
History
Corpach station opened on 1 April 1901. Loch Eil lies immediately to the south of the station.
The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1936 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1961 to 1969, the coach was a Pullman camping coach until 1964 and a standard one thereafter, all camping coaches in the region were withdrawn at the end of the 1969 season.
Facilities
The single platform has a shelter, a bench and some bike racks. There is step-free access to a small car park. As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
