FIFE Council Transportation Services has awarded a design and build contract to Mowlem PLC for design and construction of the new Markinch Integrated Public Transport Interchange. The £4.7m project will deliver a new station building/waiting facility, bus turning circle and taxi rank. Other features include increased parking, fully accessible pedestrian overbridge and lift, platform lengthening to accommodate longer trains, electronic passenger information. Passenger safety and security will also be enhanced by the provision of CCTV.

The ghost ticket office at Markinch, abandoned when the interchange building was opened 12 years ago, looks as well as could be expected. Surprisingly nobody has tried to convert this to a coffee shop, though the listed status may have something to do with this. Pity; I could have done the traybakes.

A 4-car 158 calls at Markinch on 10 October 2018 with a Perth to Edinburgh service. The signage announcing this as the stop for Glenrothes went when Glenrothes with Thornton station opened. Markinch is however nearer the centre of the town and has better bus links, particularly since the transport hub opened.
