History

The station opened on 13 April 1868, as part of the Sutherland Railway, later becoming part of the Highland Railway and later the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

Location

It is extremely close to the previous station on the line, at Culrain, situated at the opposite side of Shin Viaduct (or 'Oykel Viaduct'), a major structure on the Far North line which crosses the Kyle of Sutherland at its narrowest point.

Facilities

Invershin only has very basic facilities, being a waiting shelter, a help point and bike racks.[4] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.

Passenger volume

The statistics cover twelve month periods that start in April.

Services

In the December 2021 timetable, 4 trains call at Invershin each way (4 to Inverness, 4 to Wick via Thurso) on weekdays and Saturdays. On Sundays, there is just 1 train each way. Trains call at the station on request.[6]
