Parsman Posted October 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I am booked on the "Black Watch" in early December. There is a full day call at Rosyth. Does anyone know the easiest way to get to Dunfermline - it's not far but what public transport is available? Grateful any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylizcat Posted October 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I should try asking this on the 'British Isles' Ports of Call board. There are some Scots who post on there with very helpful answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchie1053 Posted October 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I am booked on the "Black Watch" in early December. There is a full day call at Rosyth. Does anyone know the easiest way to get to Dunfermline - it's not far but what public transport is available? Grateful any advice. Number 19 Bus (Fare quoted at £1-£3 each) and 56 minutes each way; taxis £10-£13 each - see attached link https://www.rome2rio.com/s/Dunfermline/Rosyth-Dockyard Looks to be a wee step from the Cruise Terminal - Forth Ports Authority say 23 minutes walk! So, ignoring waiting times for Bus, you're in for 80 minutes journey each way. Taxi to Inverkeithing Station for train to Dunfermline might be preferable OR taxi to Ferrytoll Bus Station and Bus to Dunfermline. Queensferry Crossing (new Forth Bridge) is still very busy with residual speed restrictions until new roads are integrated so train might be better. Mrs Marchie has just found another option - 23 minute to Babcock Training Centre. Then take X19 Bus from Rosyth to Dunfermline (36 minutes journey). Hope this helps. If you have times of arrival and day of arrival (Weekend services tend to differ significantly!), we might be able to give more specific information. Enjoy your stay! BTW, check if Pastry Chef is named Andy - he lives in Kinghorn (15 miles from Dunfermline) so he may have better information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted October 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Do you have any particular plans in Dunfermline? The Andrew Carnegie museum is really interesting and just along from Dunfermline Abbey which is also worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Andrew Carnegie museum is really interesting and just along from Dunfermline Abbey which is also worth a visit. As I was born there and went to primary school in the town it would be good to visit the place. It's some years since I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeCountyMan Posted October 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 10, 2017 PARSMAN - suggest you sign up here, look for PARrot, he runs a taxi (last time I looked) and will do a good deal for a fellow EastEnder. http://www.dafc.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeCountyMan Posted October 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Just found this - with mention of a courtesy bus to the old grey toun. http://www.cruiseforth.com/content/getting-around-rosyth/ The "Find My Ship" link for 4th Dec.2017 makes no mention - maybe the contact us option will help on the coach question ?

WeeCountyMan Posted October 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I should be your agent !!! Got this response from cruiseforth.com Yes there will be some form of service to Dunfermline. Sometimes the ship runs a service to Dunfermline, so we tend not to duplicate that. If they do not then at the least, we will run a half day service to Dunfermline - finishing around 2pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsman Posted October 12, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I emailed them too with a most useful response. I'll get in touch just before we sail from Tilbury. Re. agency - I will consider an agency fee when the Pars win the SPL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
