History edit

 
The station viewed from the road

This station opened by British Rail in May 1985. Its name refers to the nearby Outward Bound centre that the station was built to serve.[4]

Facilities edit

The station has a single platform equipped with a shelter, a bench, a help point and some bike racks, as well as a small car park. The station has step-free access from the car park, as well as to the waterfront at Loch Eil.[5] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
