Markinch is an important station in Fife used as rail access by Glenrothes which is a planned new town dating from the late 1940s. The station has a distinct look for the route having been upgraded in 2007 with step-free access lifts, wide footbridge and a new ticket office building. The original building is still there kindof shut off and demoted to the car park.
