Name and dates

Pittenweem (1863-1965)

Opened on the Leven and East of Fife Railway.

Description

This was a two platform station on a single track line. There was a goods yard to the south - a siding looped from the line served the second face of the westbound platform and there was a siding from this, served from the east. The centre of Pittenweem itself is under half a mile to the south of the former station.

The station closed in 1965 when the line closed.

There is a road bridge over the former line to the west of the station. A station cottage remains to the south of the former station, by the former access to the goods yard, and a station building remains in use as a house on the former eastbound platform.

To the south of the station is station court, not the former site of the station.
