Stow
With the gates of the infamous Newcastleton level crossing seen projected in the background, the speakers at an event held in Stow on 5th Janary 2019 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the closure of the Waverley route included (L to R): Andrew Boyd (he of the lum hat and the coffin at Hawick), Rae Montgomery (ex B.R.), Lord Steel (former local MP), Kim Elliot (part of the December 1968 delegation to Downing Street and son of campaigner Madge Elliot), Nick Bethune (Campaign for Borders Rail) and author and campaigner David Spaven. A most interesting afternoon with contributions from the floor from others who were involved, and a tantalising glimpse of what the future might be.
