The station was opened on 26 January 2000 by Railtrack and the former National Express franchisee, ScotRail. It is located at the east side of the former triangular junction formed by Touch North, Touch South and Townhill Junctions (where the now closed Stirling and Dunfermline Railway to Stirling via Alloa diverged), and serves the eastern side of Dunfermline. Passengers can only purchase tickets using a machine at the station. There is no ticket office or newsagents and only a small covered waiting area, although there is a fairly large car park with 93 spaces and two electric vehicle charging points.
