Burntisland
'To Edinburgh & Glasgow' announces the 1960s block-serif lettering above the door to Platform 1 at Burntisland on 30 September. Edinburgh has always been the main destination, although several services a day from the east coast did run direct to Glasgow via the Forth Bridge and the Dalmeny to Winchburgh line. That stopped in 1970, not to be reinstated until 1996 when a sole daily return service was introduced between Kirkcaldy and Glasgow (and still runs). For 26 years however that 'Glasgow' remained as if imminent reintroduction were expected.
