Dunfermline Town railway station

Dunfermline Town railway station is a station in the city of Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is on the Fife Circle Line, 17 miles north of Edinburgh Waverley.

The station was opened by the Dunfermline and Queensferry Railway on 1 November 1877, named Dunfermline, Comely Park. It was rebuilt in 1889, the Down platform being extended eastwards with a new booking office building and a new Up being provided; the extended facilities were brought into use on 5 March 1890, from which date the station was known as Dunfermline Lower in contradistinction to Dunfermline Upper on the line to Stirling. After the latter station was closed in 1968, the suffix was dropped and it became known as plain Dunfermline. During the 1970s and 1980s British Rail only ran a regular daytime service on the Dunfermline line between Edinburgh and as far as Cowdenbeath; Lochgelly & Cardenden were only served during the weekday business peaks, whilst the remainder of the route to Thornton Junction was freight-only . In 1989 though, BR decided to restore the Fife circular .
