Fort William railway station is a railway station serving the town of Fort William in the Highland region of Scotland. == History == The present Fort William station opened by British Rail on 13 June 1975. It replaced the original terminus which was further west and alongside Loch Linnhe at Station Square, at the time in close proximity to then location of Macbrayne's former bus station. The old station was a stone built construction featuring a turret and a double arched entranceway. The station had three platforms, and was demolished in 1975 to make way for the Fort William bypass. The current station lies in the shadow of Ben Nevis. The present station buildings are a 1970s grey concrete construction. The station is on the West Highland Line and the starting point for ''The Jacobite'', the only scheduled steam hauled train to run on the mainline in Great Britain. Refurbishment of the facilities at Fort William railway station has recently been completed thanks to a £750,000 investment. The refurbishment includes new shower facilities and refurbished toilets. The shower facilities include two showers for ladies, two for gentlemen and one unisex shower facility for disabled people. Use of these shower facilities is free of charge for first class Caledonian Sleeper ticket holders and costs £3.50 for standard passengers and station users. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fort William railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
