ScotRail has revealed plans revamp facilities at Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay rail stations as part of a £3 million investment programme in stations across Scotland.

More than £80,000 of Scottish Government funds will be used on upgrading facilities at five stations across Fife Three stations: Inverkeithing, Kirkcaldy and Markinch, will receive new ticket vending machines.

The investment programme will also deliver new passenger information screens at Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay stations which will provide passengers with ‘live’ information regarding the arrival and departure of services.

The wider investment programme will see enhanced facilities introduced at more than 80 train stations throughout Scotland.

The funding, identified within existing Scottish Government budgets, will see upgraded facilities, including improved car parks, platform shelters and new ticket vending machines at stations across the network, including those serving the Commonwealth Games.

Transport Minister Keith Brown said, “This investment will help enhance the train travel experience for passengers in Fife and hopefully encourage even more people to ditch the car and take the train.

“The Scottish Government’s record levels of investment in our railways are resulting in real on-the-ground benefits being delivered by ScotRail.” ScotRail managing director, Steve Montgomery, said, “Delivering these improvements forms part of our commitment to providing a modern and reliable rail network for our customers across Scotland.

“Customer service is at the heart of what we do and these new station facilities will help ensure that the service we deliver is of the highest standard.”
