Before the Levenmouth rail link opens, Network Rail is asking the public to three community drop-in sessions.
Co-hosted by ScotRail, the sessions will offer information on how to use the new Cameron Bridge and Leven stations,
as well as purchase tickets and make accommodations for accessibility.
In addition, members of the railway staff will talk about issues like riding a bike and what happens when services are disrupted.
They will also share easy safety tips for using the train and passing through stations.
