Borders Railway
In 1849, the Waverley Line ran from Edinburgh to the Borders and was later extended to Carlisle. However, following the publication of the Beeching Report, the line was announced for closure, with the final train running on the route in 1969. With the establishment of the devolved Scottish Parliament in 1999, the newly formed Scottish Executive authorised an independent feasibility study to consider whether it would be possible to re-open the Waverley Line. The findings suggested that there would be justification for a line to the Central Borders with wider economic, social and environmental benefits identified within the study. Thirty seven years after the closure of the Waverley Line, The Waverley Railway (Scotland) Act, received Royal Assent in July 2006, granting the powers to construct a railway from Newcraighall in Midlothian to Tweedbank in the Scottish Borders – a substantial part of the original route. For most of the route, the original course of the former line will be followed.
