Dalmally railway station is a railway station serving the village of Dalmally, near Loch Awe in Scotland. This station is on the Oban branch of the West Highland Line, originally part of the Callander and Oban Railway. It is sited 46miles from Callander via Glen Ogle, between Tyndrum Lower and Loch Awe.[3] ScotRail manage the station and operate all services.
This station opened on 1 April 1877. For a while, it was the western extremity of the Callander and Oban Railway, until the line finally reached its ultimate destination, Oban, on 1 July 1880. The station building was destroyed by fire on 16 November 1898.[4]
The red sandstone building and signal box are a Category C listed building as being a 'well detailed example of a small through station in the area'.
Facilities at the station are very basic, comprising just benches on both platforms, a help point and a small car park. There is step-free access to the station, but the only access to platform 2 is via a Barrow Crossing.[5] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
