Halbeath Park & Ride is a bus park and ride scheme from the west of Fife to Edinburgh and Glasgow. It is a joint initiative – developed by Fife Council and Transport Scotland (the Scottish Government) – and comes as part of the Forth Replacement Crossing Project.
Ferrytoll Park & Ride is a bus park and ride scheme, running from the South of Fife to Edinburgh. The aim was to tackle congestion problems during the construction of the Queensferry Crossing, by:
- providing an alternative travel option for travellers to Edinburgh and Glasgow
- to ease traffic problems in Dunfermline by providing a high-frequency link to the town centre
The facility is operated as a partnership between ourselves and Stagecoach in Fife. We provide, maintain and manage the infrastructure, while Stagecoach operates most of the bus services and staffs the facility.
With ‘sister’ park & ride site at Ferrytoll – a few miles to the south – regularly reaching capacity, Halbeath Park & Ride offers additional capacity for those travelling across Fife and to Edinburgh.
Location
The site is signed from the M90 & A92. Look out for the Park & Ride sign.
Halbeath P&R is located to the east of Dunfermline, at junction 3 of the M90. It has access from the A92 at Crossgates Roundabout.
Buses pick up passengers from the six stances outside the waiting room.
Edinburgh-bound services use the dedicated southbound M90 bus lane from Halbeath to the Forth Road Bridge. Once across the Bridge, buses make use of traffic signal-controlled bus lanes into Edinburgh allowing them to bypass queues of other vehicles.
Glasgow-bound services travel across the Kincardine Bridge and use the recently completed M876 & M80 to the city centre.
