Shawfair
Scene at a quiet Shawfair station on Sunday 12 November 2017, with the 0845 from Tweedbank pausing on its journey to Edinburgh. In the background is the former mining village of Newton, most recently associated with Monktonhall Colliery which stood off to the left see image 50741. This whole area lies within the boundary of Shawfair new town, with various housing and commercial developments underway in the surrounding area (note the new buildings in the right background beyond the rooftops of the village). Growth of the new town will doubtless be reflected in a steady increase in rail passengers.
