Advance media briefing: Borders Railway reopening – where next?

Aug 4th 2015

4 August 2015 

The Borders Railway, which runs from Edinburgh to Tweedbank, is set to reopen on 6 September (2015) after almost 50 years of closure. A victim of Dr Beeching’s axe, the line was closed in 1969 but after years of local campaigning a deal was struck in 2012 between Transport Scotland and Network Rail to restore passenger services.
