Old Photographs Railway Station Ladybank Fife Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station in Ladybank near St Andrews and East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The station was opened in 1847 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway on their line from Burntisland, being the point at which the line divided into two branches to Cupar and Lindores. The latter branch was subsequently extended to Hilton Junction, near Perth, Perthshire, the following year. On 6 June 1857, the Fife and Kinross Railway opened, providing a link to Kinross. This line was closed to passengers on 6 June 1950, with the line between Auchtermuchty and Ladybank closing to freight on 29 January 1957. Passenger trains were also withdrawn on the Perth branch, as far as Bridge of Earn, on 19 September 1955 by the British Transport Commission, the route having been reduced to single track, with a loop at Newburgh,by the London and North Eastern Railway in 1933. The line was retained for freight traffic and was subsequently reopened to passengers in 1975 to provide a shorter route between Perth and Edinburgh than that via Stirling.
