Cardenden was the terminus for train services until the line to Thornton re-opened allowing the "Fife Circle Line" to operate.
[edit] Services
There is generally an hourly service in each direction along the Fife Circle Line westbound towards Dunfermline Town or eastbound towards Kirkcaldy.
Services in both directions begin and end in Edinburgh either at Haymarket or Waverley. The journey to Edinburgh is quicker via Dunfermline (56 minutes vs 1h26) than via Kirkcaldy and the stations on the Fife coast.
On Sundays there is a two-hourly service in each direction.
