Waverley Railway Project II
The Scottish Executive are backing the re-opening of the Waverley Line from Edinburgh to the Borders, but only to the tune of 115 million pounds which the SNP and the Greens don’t think is enough. An additional 36 million has to come from other sources (see also 31 August 2004).
Given poor infrastructure of almost every kind in the Borders, the railway line may well be essential for any kind of growth there.
UPDATE 19 March 2005
The Guardian have an interesting article on the project.
