Dalgety Bay railway station serves the town of Dalgety Bay in Fife, Scotland. Lying on the Fife Circle and Edinburgh to Aberdeen lines, it is managed by Abellio ScotRail. It is currently the nearest railway station to Fordell Firs Camp site, the Scottish national headquarters for The Scout Association in Scotland, part of Scouting in Scotland.
The station is built close to the former station Donibristle Halt, opened in 1942 (closed 1959) as part of the Aberdour Line by the North British Railway, and named for the Earl of Moray's estate of Donibristle on which it stood.
From 2015 onwards, the station has two platforms and is unstaffed. The station is equipped with shelters on both platforms, with a self-service ticket machine located in the shelter in Platform 1. A footbridge connects the platforms.
Services are given in National Rail Timetable 242. There is a basic 30 minute service, with alternate trains serving Kirkcaldy and the Fife Circle route via Cowdenbeath to Edinburgh. Kirkcaldy services are periodically extended to Dundee.
The same 30-minute base service remains, but daytime trains all now run beyond Kirkcaldy to Glenrothes with Thornton northbound. One of the two terminates there, whilst the other returns to Edinburgh via Cowdenbeath. In the evening trains run hourly and mostly run to Dundee or Perth, whilst on Sundays they run to Glenrothes & back to Edinburgh.
