✓ Station Visit 214
Taking advantage of the Sunday timetable we arrived at Kirkcaldy on a train from Glenrothes - over the top of the Fife Circle. Rudy visited
Kirkcaldy is on the East Coast Mainline and also part of the Fife Circle stations with local trains to Edinburgh & Dundee joined by the occasional service direct to London. Opened in 1847 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway the station goods yard was important to the local floorcloth and linoleum industry despite the line south relying on ferry transfers across the Firth of Forth until 1890. The current buildings date from a 1964 rebuild mixed with reconstruction after a fire in the 1980s. The town is the second largest in Fife but the station sees almost twice as many passengers as Dunfermline City.
