Apologies, for some reason I'd got the other Aber in my head!

Valley is another station opened by the Chester & Holyhead Railway

Gorton/Gortan/Ghortain station was once located between Bridge of Orchy and Rannoch; like Altnabreac, the only way in was a track. Because there was no proper road out, the rail workers' children went to school here in an empty carriage placed on the station's island platform.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Note that you should only reply with a station on the main BR network (e.g. not Underground or Preserved Railway) that is still open.

Whilst I accept that Rannoch is indeed an open station, the "Gorton" station mentioned as the point of comparison to the previously named station of Altabreac, was opened by the North British Railway on 7th August 1894 and is now a CLOSED station, closure being affected some 53 years ago in 1964.

To continue from RANNOCH......

Taynuilt is also served by trains from Glasgow Queen Street
