If a specific facility matters for your visit (a hearing loop, quiet space, buggy storage), it is worth confirming with the venue before you travel.
Parking near Fife Heritage Railway

If you are attending a busy show, plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to find a space and walk to the venue. For long stays, look for a car park in Leven with 24-hour access rather than short-stay bays.
Public transport
Fife Heritage Railway is served by local buses running through Leven, and by ScotRail trains from Edinburgh, Glasgow and other Scottish cities to the nearest mainline station. For the most reliable, up-to-date journey planning, use Traveline Scotland for bus and multi-modal routes, and ScotRail for train times.
