Stow

Station Road at Stow on 15th May 2016. Anyone walking along here between January 1969 and September 2015, hoping to catch a train to Edinburgh or Carlisle (or maybe even Riccarton Junction), would have been confronted by a disused derelict station following the closure of the Waverley Route. Fortunately, this mistake was partially rectified when the first 30 miles south from Edinburgh to the new station at Tweedbank were reopened in 2015. Having brought trains back to Stow, and the important Borders town of Galashiels, the campaign to extend all the way back to Carlisle continues and bring trains back to Melrose and Hawick.
