More Steam Up For The Borders Railway Extension To Carlisle
This article on the BBC, which is entitled Call for Borders Railway extension to Carlisle renewed during Lamington work, is typical of many articles in papers like the Glasgow Herald and Scotsman, and on vartious media web sites.
In ‘Encouraging signs’ on Borders Railway Extension to Carlisle, I felt that as Network Rail are creating a hub to connect all the scenic routes in the Borderland together, that the Borders Railway should be extended to Carlisle and other routes should either be electrified or upgraded so that passenger services could be run by four-car electric trains or IPEMUs.
The failure of the Lamington viaduct and its closure until March, illustrates why we need more diversion routes, not just in the Borderlands, but everywhere it is feasible.
