A police hunt has been launched for a pensioner who boarded a train in Fife but never reached his destination.

Robert Brown, 72, had been visiting family in the kingdom when he went missing as he set off to return home to Northumbria.

He was last seen at Kirkcaldy railway station around 10.15am on Thursday when he got on a Cross Country train for Newcastle.

He intended to travel from there to his home in North Shields but never arrived.

Information suggests he may have got off the train at Berwick-upon-Tweed.

Inspector Hazel Creilly, of Glenrothes Police Station, said: “Robert was intending to return to his home in North Shields, Northumbria, by train but he never arrived.

“This is out of character and his family are increasingly concerned for his well-being.

“Anyone who may have seen Robert is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0694 of Friday, January 31.

“If Robert himself hears about this appeal I would urge him to contact us or his family immediately.”

Mr Brown is 6ft 1in and average build. He has white hair and wears glasses. He was wearing a dark blue anorak, dark jumper and grey trousers. He was carrying a brown paper shopping bag.
