StationName and dates
Stravithie (1887-1930)Opened on the Anstruther and St Andrews Railway.
Description
This was a two platform station with a loop on a single track line. The eastbound platform and loop were a later addition of 1898, when the original 1887 signal box was replaced. The main station building was on the original westbound platform, with the signal box to its east.
There was a goods yard to the south, approached by a reversing spur to the east of the station.
The signal box and loop closed in 1926. The station itself closed in 1930. After closure the platforms remained - and the line remained open until 1965.
The station platforms and main building (greatly extended) remain. It is now a guest house, The Old Station . A carriage stands between the platforms.
