Road directions
Cupar is well signposted on the A92, both north and south, whilst from the M90 coming from Perth, take the exit for Newburgh, and follow the road to Cupar from there. The station is well signposted once in the town. If you are heading from Dundee on the A92, do be aware that the signposted road for Cupar that you come to first is quite twisty, and is also served by Double decker buses! An alternative is to head to the Melville lodges roundabout, further south, and head for Cupar from there.
Parking
The station car park is rarely busy, and costs £1 to park your car there all day. Buy your ticket from the station ticket office.
There is also free parking available in the Fluthers Car Park around 5 minutes walk from the station
Public transport
The station is served by First Scotrail trains and the occasional Virgin Trains service.

The only bus operator serving the town is Stagecoach Fife and the routes include the X24 from Glasgow.

IMPORTANT: Not all Stagecoach In Fife services call at the Railway Station, but instead call in at the Crossgate (Cupar town centre). The town centre is a short walk away from the station. Ask the driver when boarding the bus where it stops, or see the timetables on the Stagecoach in Fife website, or call Stagecoach in Fife on 01334 474238. or 01592 610686.
Amenities
Cupar town centre is little more than 5 minutes walk away, where there are various shops, banks, and cafés. For a cafe, Fisher and Donaldson, on the Crossgate, is recommended.
The nearby Corn exchange plays host to a model railway show every year, usually mid to late September.
Accommodation
A few Bed and Breakfasts are available in Cupar. However, there is plenty of accommodation throughout Fife. Given the fact that St. Andrews is only 15 minutes away, you may be able to get accommodation there. If you do choose this option, be aware that it can be pricey, especially when there are golf events on in St. Andrews.

Photographic notes
The main road into Cupar from the south crosses the railway at the station, and as a result, there is a two arched bridge. This restricts views of the opposite track looking south from either platform. Looking north, there is a sharp bend, again causing restrictions.
The platforms are long enough for you to be clear of waiting passengers.
