Parking
The removal of parking charges at the station was one of several options considered by Kirkcaldy area committee as part of plans to regenerate the town centre. The committee was also considering scrapping charges at the town centre multi-storeys and retaining free parking after 3pm. It said that removing charges would help to make the station more attractive and encourage people to travel by train rather than car.
Survey responses suggest that a significant proportion of those who use Kirkcaldy and Bridge of Allan stations are commuters. Of the respondents interviewed at these stations, almost half travelled to Edinburgh Waverley and fewer than 10 journeys were made to Glasgow Central or Falkirk Grahamston.
Data from these stations and two ‘control’ stations (Stirling and Falkirk High) were analysed to understand the impact of car park extensions on rail demand. Demand models showed that a reduction in the availability of parking spaces could lead to a 3.0% decrease in passenger demand.
