## History

The line became part of the Highland Railway on 1 February 1865, then, at grouping in 1923, it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway.

The station was originally opened on 23 May 1863 when it was known as "Novar". It was renamed "Evanton" on 12 June 1937 and closed to passengers on 13 June 1960. Goods facilities were withdrawn on 2 November 1964.

## Proposed reopening

In May 2013, the reopening of the station was proposed by Highland Councillor Martin Rattray, following on from the successful reopenings of Beauly and Conon Bridge. The proposal is also backed by the Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership, but received a setback in 2019 when Transport Scotland refused, for the second time, funding for a £15,000 feasibility study.
