The line from Edinburgh to Tweedbank is the newest railway in the UK and shows a great example of the Scottish Government to rebuild closed railways. The reopening was a big success and the line has a regular service to the Scottish capital. The stations are well tended and functional. I was interested to see at Gorebridge that the station is sponsored by people and organisations. A couple of other stations have plants which make them look more welcoming. All the stations were clean and tidy on my visit.
