Overview

First opened in 2000, Dunfermline Queen Margaret Railway Station is relatively new as far as stations go. With five accessible parking spaces and two EV charging bays, it's well-equipped for such a small station.

Transport & Parking

Located close to a housing estate, there isn't much in the way of transport links to this location. The two best ways to get here are by car or train. There are five accessible parking spaces and two EV charging bays with Type-2 connections. The EV bays are the size of a standard parking space. The charging terminal is installed on the kerb and set upon a plinth, making it awkward to access. There are two bollards at the front of the terminal, and the sockets are concealed below two hinged panels, with no cables provided. The card reader is also on the front, positioned high up, making it difficult to tap your card. Pretty standard for most EV chargers, sadly. There are plenty of dropped kerbs in this area, too.

Access

There's level and step-free access throughout, with a long ramp and bridge taking you between both platforms. There is an accessible ticket machine on platform 1 only, which is a bit of a pain if you arrive via the car park. E-Tickets are a great alternative and definitely my preferred way to purchase a ticket. There are tactile markings at the platform edges and at the stairs throughout the location. All steps have grab rails on both sides, as do the ramps. You'll find seating on both platforms, with each featuring a rain shelter. Induction loops operate on the platforms, and there is an assistance and information button on both sides.

Toilets

There are no toilets at this location.
