The Markinch Interchange features a new rail station building with waiting facilities , a bus turning circle , increased parking and a taxi rank (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7080766.stmScotland's Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson opened the new facility which he said was an "excellent example" of an integrated public transport project.
A new cycle way has also been constructed , linking the interchange with Glenrothes.
The Markinch scheme was announced as part of a 10-year development plan published by the Strategic Rail Authority in January 2002.
The new interchange features a pedestrian overbridge and lift and platforms were also lengthened to accommodate longer trains.
In addition there is now electronic passenger information and CCTV.
Steve Montgomery , deputy managing director of train operator First ScotRail , said: "This is a perfect example of the partnership approach to deliver for customers and to perform at the very highest standards."
"I am confident it will lead to more people choosing rail as their preferred means of public transport."
Having played their part in Scotland's version of Gateway To The Future , will First support our proposals down here? (link below.)
