This station is on theWest Highland Line, measured 32 miles 2 chains (51.5 km) from the formerBanavie Junction, nearFort William, betweenBeasdale andMorar on the way toMallaig.^[5] The westernmost station on theNetwork Rail network,^[6] it is the only one of the fourcardinal points of the national network that is not a terminus.ScotRail, who manage the station, operate all services.

Arisaig station opened on 1 April 1901.^[3] The station was laid out with two platforms, one on either side of acrossing loop. There is asiding on the south side of the line, east of the Down platform.^[5]

Opened by theNorth British Railway, it became part of theLondon and North Eastern Railway during theGrouping of 1923. The station was host to aLNERcamping coach from 1936 to 1939.^[7]

A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1952 to 1960, the coach was replaced in 1961 by aPullman camping coach which was joined by anotherPullman in 1966. From 1967 to 1969 there were 2 standard camping coaches here, all camping coaches in the region were withdrawn at the end of the 1969 season.^[8]

Both platforms have benches, but only platform 2 has a specific waiting shelter (although platform 1 does have a help point). There is a car park next to platform 1, with step-free access to the platform. However, the only access to platform 2 is via one of two barrow crossings.^[9] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.

The statistics cover twelve month periods that start in April.

On weekdays and Saturdays, four trains a day call at Arisaig on the way toMallaig orFort William, and three of the latter go on further toGlasgow. The last eastbound train of the day connects into the overnightCaledonian Sleeper to Glasgow,Edinburgh Waverley andLondon Euston at Fort William on weekdays.
