Roy Bridge Railway Station
History
This station opened by the West Highland Railway on 7 August 1894. The station was originally a two platform station, with sidings to the north. The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1952 to 1960.
Facilities
The station is equipped with a waiting room, a bench, a help point and some bike racks. The station is only accessible from a stepped overbridge and thus has no step-free access. As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.

Services
Mondays to Saturdays, the station is served by three Scotrail trains per day in each direction, northbound to Mallaig and southbound to Glasgow Queen Street, along with the Highland Caledonian Sleeper between London Euston and Fort William via Edinburgh Waverley (the latter doesn't run southbound on Saturday nights or northbound on Sunday mornings, and only calls at the station on request). Sundays see just two trains per day call, as well as the southbound sleeper. The sleeper also carries seated coaches and can thus be used by regular passengers from/to Glasgow (Queen St Low Level) and Edinburgh.
