This intermediate station on the 'Fife Circle' route (starting at Edinburgh) is situated at the N end of the Forth (Rail) Bridge (see NT17NW 70), well above the village from which it takes its name. It was opened by the Forth Bridge Rly on 5 March 1890, and remains in regular use by passenger traffic. The station building on the W side has been replaced by a brick-built building which bears a mosaic relating to the construction of the Forth (Rail) Bridge.
