The station is built close to the former station Donibristle Halt, opened in 1942[4] (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.
The station is unstaffed and has two platforms, connected by a footbridge which is accessible via ramps or steps.
There is a basic 30 minute service, with alternate trains serving Kirkcaldy and the Fife Circle route via Cowdenbeath to Edinburgh.
[5] The same 30-minute base service remains, but daytime trains all now run beyond Kirkcaldy to Glenrothes with Thornton northbound.
