May 1971
Set: 013
Class 131 parcel unit Sc55013 attached to the rear of a three-car Met-Camm unit at Kirkcaldy in May 1971. You don't often see shots taken looking in this direction. Most people photographed looking north with the bay platform behind the DMU or towards the signal box. My father came from Kirkcaldy so as a wee boy I was always dragged over from Edinburgh on Saturday mornings to see my gran and let-loose to visit the station. I have a full set of signs from here in my railwayana collection - a totem, a cast iron seatback, a directional sign with a left pointing arrow and the signal box name board. Alistair Ness.
September 1971

18th June 1983
Set: 101320
Having worked in from Waverley as 2V04, a hybrid 3 car set prepares to cross over to form the 2G36 0938 Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh service on 18th June 1983. A class 122 railcar, Sc55000, leads a couple of Metro-Cammell vehicles (51248 closest); at this point the 122 was based at Haymarket but its usefulness would mean that it was to last a further 11 years in service until withdrawal in 1994 from Laira. Beyond the station can be seen part of what was once a sprawling empire of linoleum mills. However, the distinctive smell can still be found in the town as one mill continues to produce the floor covering. The goods yard is in its latter years; the closure of the harbour branch and those mills significantly reduced the freight traffic. Latterly, a domestic coal merchant seemed to be the main user. The sight of a wee Barclay 06 parked beside the signal box was long gone. Bruce Galloway.
