Upper Tyndrum sign

Although the West Highland Lines actually fork at Crianlarich, the two branches are still close enough that Tyndrum has two stations. I was thus able to arrive at Upper Tyndrum for a short walk across to Tyndrum Lower.

Upper Tyndrum platform sign

On the platforms, looking south:

There's this small planter in the middle of the platforms:

This square building sits on the platform, holding a kettle. Is it a signalbox? There are no signal levers or anything:

Although there is a diagram inside the box:

Just north of the box is the station building itself, which offers shelter to passengers on either platform:

Looking south along platform 2, under the canopy provided by the building:

Because the station is on an island platform, an underpass is used to cross the line. Here's the exit from the station:

And at the other side, the entrance:
