Summary

Description
English: Glenrothes with Thornton railway station Viewed from Main Street bridge, Thornton, a five-coach Fife Circle train stands at Platform 1, waiting to depart for Edinburgh via Kirkcaldy. Although apparently a conventional double-track station, things are not quite what they seem. Most Fife Circle trains use Platform 1 in both directions. Platform 2 is used only by a few trains in the peak periods, running to or from Markinch and Perth. The two tracks diverge respectively south and north round the curve in the background. Immediately east of Main Street bridge crossovers between the two tracks mark the start of normal Up and Down double track. In the left background, half-hidden behind a bush, is the derelict winding house of a former coal pit.
