The station forecourt at Newburgh, Fife, in the summer of 2005, looking west. The main station building lies straight ahead, partially hidden amongst the trees, with the Perth - Ladybank line running beyond (part of the surviving platform canopy can just be seen). Ahead and to the right lay the surprisingly large goods yard, with a number of its former buildings now put to commercial use [see image 1624]. The case for reopening the station, which closed to passengers in September 1955, has been taken up recently by a local lobby group.
