Glenrothes with Thornton railway station serves the communities of Glenrothes and Thornton in Fife, Scotland. The station is managed by Abellio ScotRail and is on the Fife Circle Line, {{convert|31+1/4|mi}} north of {{Stnlnk|Edinburgh Waverley}}. HistoryThe station is situated on the Dunfermline Branch of the Edinburgh and Northern Railway, just west of its divergence from the E&NR main line via a triangular junction.[2] It is a completely new structure, having been built by British Rail with the support of Fife Regional Council to serve the two communities that it is named after. Glenrothes (as a post-war new town) had never previously had its own station (though {{rws|Markinch}} station is nearby) whilst Thornton had lost its station (Thornton Junction) on the main line in October 1969 in the aftermath of the Beeching Axe (services on the line westwards to {{rws|Cardenden}} and on the Leven branch had ended at the same time). The successful inauguration of the Fife Circle Line service in 1989 had seen the Dunfermline branch section reopened to passengers and this provided the catalyst for the construction of the station. It was completed in the spring of 1992 and it was opened to traffic on 11 May that year, at the summer timetable change.[3] Though it has the appearance of a standard two platform station on a double track line, it is actually sited east of Thornton West Junction, where the double line from Cardenden splits into two parallel single lines that diverge after passing through the station to join the main line. One of these runs southwards to Thornton South Junction and is used by all trains to and from Edinburgh via the coast, whilst the other curves to the north and is used by trains heading for Markinch and thence to Perth or {{rws|Dundee}}. As a consequence of this, both platforms are bi-directional (a similar layout exists at {{rws|Bare Lane}} in Lancashire) but the southern one (platform 1) is much busier than the northern one (2) due to the service pattern in use on the Fife Circle. ServicesOn Mondays to Saturdays, there are three trains per hour to Edinburgh. The majority of services in either direction depart from Platform 1 as noted. 2 of these services run via Kirkcaldy(One of which starts and terminates here) whilst the other runs via Dumfermline, In the evenings, Trains to Edinburgh only run via Dumfermline and on Sundays, An hourly service runs to Edinburgh both via Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline, These trains use Platform 1. There is a limited service to/from Perth, As of 2018, This is as follows Monday to Fridays. There is 2 trains per day to Perth and there is also 2 trains from Perth which operate to Edinburgh via Dunfermline, 1 train per day from Edinburgh terminates here using Platform 2 but the train then goes out of service upon arriving at the station and then goes ECS (Empty Coaching Stock to Perth). On Saturdays, There is 2 trains per day to Perth and 1 from Perth, On Sundays, There is 1 train to and 2 trains from Perth, These services use Platform 2.
