The village of Aberdour is well signposted from Dalgety Bay. It is on the A921. From Kirkcaldy, follow signs for Burntisland, and once there, follow signs for Aberdour. The railway station is visible from both directions.
Parking
There is a car park at the station. There is an overflow car park just beyond. There are no problems parking here.
Only one bus route passes through here, Stagecoach Fife route 7, which operates every 30 minutes during the day, hourly evenings and Sundays.
Amenities
The station toilets are only available to intending passengers, and even then, only when the ticket office is open (06:30 - 10:00 Mondays to Fridays, 08:00-10:30 Saturdays). Otherwise, you will need to be a pub or cafe customer. There are plenty of amenities in the main street, which the station is located on. Dalgety Bay is a short bus ride away, and there are some more shops located there.
Accommodation
Accommodation is limited in Aberdour, best contact tourist information. - www.visitscotland.com
The view southbound is very restricted, due to a sharp bend, and also the presence of the bridge carrying the road above. The line speed through the station is 40mph, so be ready for trains. You do get a longer shot looking northbound. If you can, get some pictures of the gardens. It is the centrepiece of the station, even more so than the trains! Incidentally, do watch for shadows from the station building canopy, located on the southbound platform.
