This station is on the Oban branch of the West Highland Line, originally part of the Callander and Oban Railway. It is sited 49\u00a0miles 48\u00a0chains (79.8\u00a0km) from Callander via Glen Ogle, between Dalmally and Falls of Cruachan.[3]ScotRail manage the station and operate all services.

Having been brought to Loch Awe by a ballast train on 29 May 1988, it was until 2008 used as a tea room. The main single line had to be temporarily severed and slewed so that the carriage could be shunted onto its own track without the use of a crane.Facilities[edit]The station only comprises a shelter, a help point, a bench and a small car park. There is step-free access form the car park.[9] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.Passenger volume[edit]Passenger Volume at Loch Awe[10]2002-032004-052005-062006-072007-082008-092009-102010-112011-122012-132013-142014-152015-162016-172017-182018-192019-202020-21Entries and exits2,0592,4462,7752,1682,3212,5262,9263,1602,5442,7263,0344,7524,8044,1405,3945,0025,5124,562The statistics cover twelve month periods that start in April.Services[edit]There are 6 departures in each direction on weekdays and Saturdays, eastbound to Glasgow Queen Street and westbound to Oban.
