The St Andrews Railway was an independent railway company, founded in 1851 to build a railway branch line from the university town of St Andrews, in Fife, Scotland, to the nearby main line railway. It opened in 1852. When the Tay Rail Bridge opened in 1878 residential travel to Dundee was encouraged. The railway was engineered as a low-cost line by Thomas Bouch and the company suffered adversely from that in later years, and sold their line to the larger North British Railway in 1877.

- St Andrews Railway var ett skotskt järnvägsbolag grundat 1851 med syfte att bygga en järnväg mellan St Andrews och huvudlinje i Leuchars. Järnvägen öppnade för trafik 1852, men till en station i utkanten av St Andrews, just bortom sjuttonde hålet på the Old Course. Banan kunde dock senare förlängas till en ny station i ett mer centralt läge. Efter dess invigning bytte den gamla stationen namn till St Andrews Links. Efter att vägbron över Firth of Tay öppnat 1965 minskade trafiken på banan med 40% och trafiken upphörde 6 januari 1969. (sv)

It opened in 1852. When the Tay Rail Bridge opened in 1878 residential travel to Dundee was encouraged. The railway was engineered as a low-cost line by Thomas Bouch and the company suffered adversely from that in later years, and sold their line to the larger North British Railway in 1877. The line was successful until road transport competition began to abstract traffic, and when the Tay Road Bridge opened in 1966, 40% of the line's passenger carryings were lost immediately. Decline continued and the line closed completely in 1969. (en)
