[2] In June 2021 the station site, near the town's swimming pool, was announced.

The station is situated underneath Bawbee Bridge and has a 205-metre (224 yd) long island platform.

The section of Bawbee Bridge which spans the railway was found to be in poor condition and needed to be replaced: construction of the platforms could only start once this was completed.

Cycle storage and a Scotrail welfare facility are provided near the waiting shelters.

The typical service on all days of the week is one train per hour to and from Edinburgh Waverley via Kirkcaldy.
