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.

Customers are asked to park considerately, within marked bays at all times and to follow the circulation routes which are clearly marked. At no time should cars enter the bus access road.
