Transport from Leuchars Rail Station

LEUCHARS TRAIN STATION is the nearest rail link to St. Andrews. From Leuchars, delegates can take a taxi or coach to the town (journey time: approx. 10 to 15 minutes).

Taxis are usually available in significant numbers at the station. We would recommend booking your taxi through one of the local companies prior to your departure or while on the train, providing your name and arrival details, in order to ensure that a taxi is waiting for you. Taxis charge approximately £9 per journey to St Andrews and £14 after 22:00. Local companies include:
Club Cars +44 (0) 1334 838 555 / 479 900
Golf City Taxis +44 (0) 1334 477 788
A2B Taxis +44 (0) 1334 840 682
Jay Taxis +44 (0) 1334 476 622.

Delegates can also take a coach (99A, 99B or 96) from Leuchars to St Andrews. Coaches leave the station regularly. Call Traveline on +44 (0) 8706 082 608 for coach times.

Due to a lack of demand, the BAM04 Team is not offering conference coaches from Leuchars.
