West Highland Line

Garelochhead Station is the second station on the famous West Highland Line from Craigendoran Jct near Helensburgh.

The station was first opened for passenger use on Aug 7th 1894 and the station was laid out as an island platform to provide a crossing loop (or passing place) on the single track railway.

A signal box was once on the platform and the semaphore signalling were finally removed in early Feb 1986. This system was replaced by BR by the Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) but this was superceded by the more safer Train Protection & Warning System (TPWS) by 2003.

Today , the up/down line operations have been reversed with the 'up' trains now arriving into the station on the right
