Backing for Borders rail reopening study
Government has given its backing to a full feasibility study into completely reopening the former Waverley route from Edinburgh to Carlisle via Tweedbank.
Support will be provided as part of a £345 million Borderlands Growth Deal. As the deal is jointly funded by the UK and Scottish governments, the study is now dependent on approval by Scottish ministers.
