City status has finally arrived at Dunfermline's rail station after new signs were put up yesterday (Wednesday)

The moment in our history was captured as ScotRail staff were snapped putting up 'Dunfermline City' signs at the former 'Town' station by Kyle McKinnon, of Dunfermline.

Dunfermline was declared a city in May as part of the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations but when the Press asked the rail firm when the signs would change at the Town station to reflect this, ScotRail said it could not confirm when or even if it would be able to change the name.

ScotRail has announced that Dunfermline Town railway station will now be called Dunfermline City, after its historic status was officially recognised by His Majesty King Charles. Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth was keen that the stations name reflected the importance of Dunfermline's status and approved the process to make this happen.

Cement slabs have been dropped onto a live railway track in Fife, prompting a warning from police. Officers found pieces of wood and concrete slabs had been dropped onto the track by vandals close to Dunfermline Town station, with the incident reported around 12:30pm on 25 March. Three trains had then travelled over the objects, threatening a potential derailment. Just a few hours later at 4:50pm, police received a further report of a wheelbarrow striking a train on the line close to Dunfermline.
