===Railways=== {{main|West Highland Line}} [[File:Train crossing Loch Awe - March 2016 (geograph 4866471).jpg|thumb|right|A train crossing [[Loch Awe]]]] The main railway line in Argyll and Bute is the West Highland Line, which links Oban to Glasgow, passing through much of the eastern and northern parts of the area. From the south the line enters Argyll and Bute just to the west of Dumbarton, continuing north via [[Helensburgh Upper railway station|Helensburgh Upper]] to the eastern shores of the [[Gare Loch]] and [[Loch Long]]. The line comes inland at [[Arrochar and Tarbet railway station|Arrochar and Tarbet]] to meet the western shore of [[Loch Lomond]]. At the northern end of the loch the lines leaves Argyll and Bute to enter [[Stirling council area]]. The Oban branch of the West Highland Line re-enters the area just west of [[Tyndrum]], and heads west to Oban: stations on this section of the line include [[Dalmally railway station|Dalmally]] and [[Taynuilt railway station]]. The majority of services on the line are operated by [[ScotRail]]: as of 2019 the summer service has six trains a day to Oban, with four on Sundays. In addition to the ScotRail service is the nightly [[Caledonian Sleeper]], although this does not run on the Oban branch.<ref name=OS>{{Cite web|url=https://osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/|title=OS Maps: online mapping and walking, running and cycling routes|website=osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/download_ct/20082_west_highlands_0.pdf|title=Timetable: Glasgow to Oban, Fort William and Mallaig|access-date=1 August 2019|publisher=Abellio ScotRail}}</ref> Helensburgh also has a much more frequent service into Glasgow and beyond via the [[North Clyde Line]], which has its western terminus at the town's [[Helensburgh Central railway station|central railway station]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/download_ct/20091_a5_dunbartonshire.pdf|title=Dunbartonshire - Glasgow, Cumbernauld & Falkirk Grahamston Timetable|access-date=1 August 2019|publisher=Abellio ScotRail}}</ref>
