Tulloch railway station is a rural railway station in the Highland region of Scotland. This station is on the West Highland Line.

[edit] History

The station was laid out with two platforms, one on either side of a crossing loop. There are sidings on the north side of the station.

[edit] Signalling

The signal box, which had 15 levers, was situated on the Up platform. From the time of its opening in 1894, the West Highland Railway was worked throughout by the electric token system.

The semaphore signals were removed on 23 February 1986 in preparation for the introduction of Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB).

The RETB system was commissioned between Upper Tyndrum and Fort William Junction on 29 May 1988. This resulted in the closure of Tulloch signal box and others on that part of the line. The RETB is controlled from a Signalling Centre at Banavie railway station.

The Train Protection & Warning System was installed in 2003.
