Old photograph of the railway station in Ardlui at the North end of Loch Lomond, Scotland. Opened to passengers on 7 August 1894 by the West Highland Railway, then run by the North British Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during 1923. The station then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. Due to subsidence the main station building, of the standard 'West Highland' design, had to be demolished around 1970 with an open waiting area built on to the signal box. Monday to Saturday, there are three services to Oban and Mallaig and one service to Fort William on Highland Caledonian Sleeper North bound. South bound, there are three services to Glasgow Queen Street and one service to London, England, Euston Station by Highland Caledonian Sleeper which does not run on Saturday. On Sundays, there is just one train northbound to Oban and Mallaig and two trains South Bound to Glasgow Queen Street and London Euston.
