Description

The Waverley Route: A Royal Reopening and its Lasting Impact. In 2015, nearly two centuries after it was first opened, the Waverley Route railway line in Scotland experienced a remarkable revival. Following its closure in 1969, a significant portion of the line was re-opened as part of the Borders Railway project, reconnecting Edinburgh with Galashiels and Tweedbank by train for the first time since 1969. This book tells the story of the royal reopening of the Waverley Route in 2015, the controversies that surrounded it, and its enduring impact on the Scottish borders. With a focus on the historical context and the people involved, this third edition provides a comprehensive account of this significant event in Scotland's railway history.
