Road directions
From the A90/M90: Follow signs for Dalgety Bay. Otherwise, from Kirkcaldy follow the A921 to Dalgety Bay, or from Kinghorn, Burntisland or Aberdour, follow signs for Dalgety Bay. The station is well signposted from the A921.
Parking
The car park at the station was expanded in July 2005, and this added 108 extra spaces. Thus, there are plenty of vacant spaces during the day. The car park, like the station platforms, is fully covered by CCTV.
Public transport
First Scotrail serves the station with a 30 minute service from Edinburgh. Some trains go to Markinch, others head on the Fife Circle. Some Stagecoach in Fife services call at the bus stops next to the station. These are 79 and 81/a during the day, service 7 (evenings and Sundays). Important: When using the bus, specifically ask for Dalgety Bay railway station. If you ask for Dalgety Bay, you will be charged a higher fare, as the town centre is in a different fare zone.
Amenities
The station is unstaffed, and the only facilities at the station are a shelter on each platform, and a ticket machine on the southbound platform. There is a BP garage across from the station, otherwise, you will need to go into Dalgety Bay town centre, which is a short drive, or 10 minutes walk away.
Dalgety Bay, as mentioned above, sits in a partial cutting, but is exposed. So, it can get windy. As well as this, the station sits between two bridges, and the view from the south is a wee bit longer than that from the north. A foot bridge links both platforms, and this provides more opportunities. At the southern end of the car park, you can get some shots of trains as well, though you may find ladders useful here. If you are making a video, the A921 is a busy road, so you will encounter traffic noise. In addition, the platforms can be a bit narrow in places, so try not to get in peoples way, especially at rush hour.
