History
The station opened on 11 August 1857 by the Leven and East of Fife Railway.[1] To the north was a good yard and to the east of the eastbound platform was the signal box. It was replaced in 1894 and was situated at the east end of the westbound platform. The station closed on 6 September 1965, with the signal box closing in the same year.[2][3]

gollark: Its scrolling does seem to be kind of weird and inconsistent.
gollark: Determinism is just saying that the universe... is deterministic, i.e. the current state is determined entirely by the initial conditions and rules for updating it.
gollark: That seems like not determinism as much as some bizarre philosophical thing about truth.
