Tulloch opened originally on 7 August 1894 as Inverlair, gaining its current name less than a year later in January 1895, better reflecting the wider area it serves. The remoteness of this area also makes Tulloch one of Scotland's quietest stations, with less than 2,000 passengers travelling to or from the station during 2019/20. Despite this, it still has direct services to London in the form of the Caledonian Sleeper, with the Fort William portion operating six nights a week.

The station has two platforms, and is the site of a passing loop on the West Highland line, allowing two trains to pass each other in opposite directions. Radio Electronic Token Block signalling has controlled the route since 1988, controlled from a signalling centre at Banavie.

Four services a day call at Tulloch - three, operated by ScotRail using class 156 multiple units, between Glasgow Queen Street and Mallaig and one, operated by Caledonian Sleeper using class 73 diesel locomotives and mark 5 coaching stock, between London Euston and Fort William. The line also sees occasional railtours and excursions pass through.
