IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Dean Road, KIRKCALDY, KY2 5SB

The inscription on the plaque reads, somewhat poetically, as follows: "To honour the memory of those who went from The Lothians and Fife to serve in the war in Spain, 1936 - 1939." "Not to a fanfare of trumpets Nor even the skirl o' the pipes Not for the off'r of a shilling Nor to see their names up in lights Their call was a cry of anguish From the hearts of the people of Spain Some paid with their lives it is true Their sacrifice was not in vain" (The International Brigade Association) Very well put.

At the time of day this image was taken Kirkcaldy Railway Station car park would normally be bursting at the seams with parked cars but, due to many people not being at work because of the coronavirus restrictions it's mostly empty.

These two charging points for electric vehicles can be found in the car park of the north-bound platform of Kirkcaldy railway station.

This is the opposite side of the railway station, leading out onto the north platform for trains going to Dundee, Perth, Aberdeen, Inverness and beyond. This is situated on Whyte Melville Road/Forth Avenue off Oriel Road roundabout, in Kirkcaldy town centre. This building dates from 1964, surviving a fire that destroyed the main entrance. A car park, exists to the far left of the picture including a new extension with access just at Bennochy Bridge. The new extension is jam-packed with cars being left, for all of Kirkcaldy's commuters to go to work in Edinburgh.

This notice was attached to a lamp post in Kirkcaldy Railway Station car park.

Kirkcaldy railway station looking to Bennochy Bridge

Turbostar unit 170426 departs with the 18.43 Edinburgh to Perth stopping service. It is passing a crossover used by trains that terminate here.

Class 20, 20-020, shunting at the remains of the now closed and lifted Kirkcaldy goods yard, on the western side of the East Coast Main Line. There was also a branch, on the eastern side of the line, to the harbour. It closed in 1984.

Loco hauled services in Fife as seen in 1985 when the majority were hauled by class 47 locos. These services were some of the last to use "steam heat" rather than electric train heating. In simple terms the locos had a boiler which produced steam to heat the coaching stock. A driver's assistant was required to look after the boiler which, if not attended to correctly, would mean the passengers would freeze in winter or cook in summer! Normally heat was provided in the winter months which normally meant by the May timetable change it was deemed summer even if it was still cold!
