Halkirk

Travel Guide

One of Britain's most isolated and remote railway stations - trains rarely stop, only on request, and it is inaccessible by road. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altnabreac_railway_station - Taken by me, robef (https://www.flickr.com/robef)

The line remains active, but the former station - just visible ahead - was closed from 13/6/60 (goods 18/5/64).
