Platform 1 to Edinburgh. In the olden days Inverkeithing was very important and was the hub of rail travel. Why ... even in Calcutta, Bombay, Singapore or Shanghai the guard or ticket clerk would remind you, "Don't forget to change at Inverkeithing!" This part of the Scottish East Coast Mainline is no stranger to the occasional visitor from bygone eras of steam or old diesel. A Gresley K4 2-6-0 steam engine No.61994 'The Great Marquess' http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mec3YXIRQvM passes through Inverkeithing heading North on its way to Dalgety Bay and again on the return leg via the West Fife Line from Cowdenbeath heading South: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0UD6J0ty2Sc. A Class 55 Deltic No.55020 'Royal Scots Grey' pulls out of Inverkeithing station. http://youtube.com/watch?v=MBOCTAuGJbA
