Re-excavating the infilled section of the Waverley route through Galashiels in preparation for the Borders Railway. View is south east from Galafoot Lane footbridge near the site of Selkirk Junction in June 2014. Re-excavation was required as far as Winston Road, where the infilled bridge was also replaced during a road closure lasting more than a year.
