Galashiels [1st]
One of the sections of the Borders Railway which deviates from the original Waverley Route is that to the south of Galashiels station. Sticking to the original alignment here would have meant taking trains through aisles 9 to 12 of the local Asda Superstore. The solution involved a diversion to the east of the building, as shown here, with the line rejoining the old formation just beyond Currie Road, where a new railway bridge was required (see image 49892). Photograph taken in May 2008 looking south from below the new road bridge carrying Station Brae.
