Lines
editTorinoki Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 204.8 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and these ply the sectors Matsuyama - Iyo-Ōzu via Iyo-Nagahama or Matsuyama - Uwajima via the Uchiko branch. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama.[4]
Layout
editThe station consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a simple shelter for waiting passengers. A "tickets corner" (a small shelter housing an automatic ticket vending machine) is placed on the ramp which leads to the platform from the access road. A bicycle shed has been erected near the base of the ramp.[2][5][3]
History
editJapanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station as a new stop on the existing Yosan Line on 1 November 1986. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
