Inverkeithing railway station serves the town of Inverkeithing in Fife, Scotland. The station is managed by First ScotRail and is on the Fife Circle Line, 13ΒΌ miles (21 km) north west of Edinburgh Waverley.
The station is popular with commuters travelling to Edinburgh from Fife and beyond, thanks to its location beside the M90 motorway. It is a popular place as it is the last stop before the Fife Circle Line splits in two, so trains pass through this station more frequently than any other in Fife. Two large free of charge park and ride car parks are provided. However the popularity of the station now means that the two car parks are filled to over flowing throughout each working day. Many cars are parked illegally and in surrounding streets.
The station is currently staffed for all trains and has public toilets, and a ticket hall. There is also a waiting room and a footbridge.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
