The town was once served by [[Forfar railway station]], which ran goods and passenger lines until 3 September 1967 when it closed for passenger transport as part of the [[Beeching cuts]]; a goods line from Perth continued until 1982. The station was located on the main line of the [[Caledonian Railway]] from [[Buchanan Street railway station|Glasgow Buchanan Street]] to [[Aberdeen railway station|Aberdeen]], which was the furthest north link in the chain of the [[West Coast Main Line]] from [[Euston railway station|London Euston]]. Lines also went to Dundee, Arbroath, [[Brechin railway station|Brechin]] and Kirriemuir. The station has since been demolished and replaced by a small housing estate. However, a major [[locomotive]] shed remains and is in use for vehicle body manufacture. Some bridges and cuttings still survive but the site of the goods station, which was the town's original railway station before the one near the [[County Buildings, Forfar|County Buildings]] was built, is now mainly residential properties.

===Buses===
Local bus services are operated predominantly by [[Stagecoach Strathtay]], Moffat & Williamson and JP Coaches. Key routes connect the town with [[Dundee]], [[Kirriemuir]], [[Edzell]] and [[Arbroath]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Forfar Bus Services |work=Bus Times |date=2023 |access-date=20 October 2023 |url= https://bustimes.org/localities/forfar |quote=}}</ref>
