The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939. During the construction of the Lochaber hydroelectric scheme in the 1930s a small halt was located at Fersit, a short distance south on the line towards Corrour. Signalling. The signal box, which had 15 levers, was situated on the Up platform. From the time of its opening in 1894, the West Highland Railway was worked throughout by  the electric token system. The semaphore signals were removed on 23 February 1986 in preparation for the introduction of Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) by British Rail. The RETB system was commissioned between and Fort William Junction on 29 May 1988. This resulted in the closure of Tulloch signal box and others on that part of the line. The RETB is controlled from a Signalling Centre at Banavie railway station. The Train Protection & Warning System was installed in 2003. Services. 2016 services.
