Dunfermline Town
170 475 stands at Dunfermline Town with a service for Edinburgh and
Newcraighall on 4 September. The station opened as plain Dunfermline, later gained the suffix 'Lower', lost that for 30 years then 'Town' was added in 2000 when Dunfermline Queen Margaret opened. There was a proposal by the local MSP a couple of years ago to have the station renamed 'Dunfermline City'. Among the arguments against this was the not unreasonable one that Dunfermline is not in fact a city and that it would require an act of Parliament to make it one. If and when Dunfermline ever obtains city status the station will no doubt change its name again, but we could all be deid by then.
