Store, Carrbridge Station

Carrbridge Station, built in 1892 by the Highland Railway, is a 2-platform through station with a principal building situated on the down platform. It is constructed of timber and brick, with a gabled, single-storey design.

The west-facing platform elevation features a recessed central section with an awning supported by cast-iron columns and wooden brackets. To the right is an advanced gable with a slate-roofed canted-bay window, and to the left, a later timber signal cabin projection matching the style of the main building. End pavilions are also slightly advanced with gables facing the east (road) elevation. Windows are irregularly spaced, with three panes and top hopper openings. Louvred ventilators are present in the upper parts of the rear gables. The roof is open eaves, with prominent rafter ends.

The windows are timber-framed, and the roof is covered in grey slate. Chimney stacks are constructed of red and white brick with stone copes; the central stack has octagonal cans. A stack at the northwest end rises from an exposed brick chimney breast.

Platform shelters consist of a single-pitch, timber-clad shelter on the up side and a similar building on the down platform. A steel and cast-iron lattice-girder footbridge, representative of a standard Highland Railway design, is also present.

Carrbridge Station is the largest of the timber-clad station buildings constructed by the Highland Railway in the 1890s as part of the direct line to Inverness. It is one of a small number of such stations remaining in operation. The cast-iron columned, timber-bracketed awning and polychromatic brick stacks are characteristic of Highland Railway station buildings of the period. A glazed outshot, originally housing signalling instruments, was added to the left gable around 1950 by British Rail (Scottish Region), matching the style of the timber-framed building.
