History
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.[citation needed]
Signalling
On 6 December 1987, the station became a Token Exchange Point when the Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) system was commissioned by British Rail between Mallaig Junction (now called 'Fort William Junction') and Mallaig. The RETB is controlled from a Signalling Centre at Banavie railway station. The Train Protection & Warning System was installed in 2003.
Facilities
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.[4] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
