Lairg railway station
Lairg railway station is a railway station just south of the village of Lairg in the Highland council area of Scotland. The station is on the Far North Line. It is from, and has a passing loop long, flanked by two platforms. Platform 1 on the up line can accommodate trains having six coaches, but platform 2 on the down line can only hold five.
Until April 2009 the station provided an interchange point for postbus services to the remote communities of Durness, Kinlochbervie and Tongue, Highland. Following considerable local opposition to the cancellation of the services they have now been replaced by temporary services operated, under contract from the Highland Council, by Stagecoach plc. The future of the services has yet to be determined.
