Borders Railway, 25 September 2016

32 photos of a trip over the new Edinburgh - Tweedbank line behind 46100 Royal Scot. The railway runs in the course of the northern end of the Edinburgh - Carlisle Waverley route, closed in 1969. it is 35 miles long, and single track with three crossing loops. Reinstatement has cost £294 million, or nearly £1 million per mile. I have also included three photos of the Waverley route fragment still in use near Carlisle, and one of 66528, named after a veteran Borders Railway campaigner.
