Reseña del editor
This new edition covers the latest installment in a thrilling and successful lobby to revive the once popular railway from Edinburgh to the Scottish Borders. Known throughout its history as the Waverley Route, the main-line railway which ran from Edinburgh through the Borders to Carlisle had a working life of 107 years which came to an abrupt end on 6th January 1969, as probably the most undeserved victim of the infamous Beeching Axe. Now, in one of the most remarkable reversals of fortune in British railway history, just over a third of the line re-opens in September 2015 as the Borders Railway, reconnecting Edinburgh, Galashiels and Tweedbank by train the longest line to be built in Scotland since 1901. This updated edition of Waverley Route with a revised selection of photographs and a new map incorporates fresh archive material from the late 1960s, details of the locomotives which have survived from the final days of Waverley Route operation, the story of the construction of the Borders Railway between 2012 and 2015, and new insider insights into the political tensions throughout the 21 year saga of the rail re-opening process.
