Borders rail: Hour-long commute sparks anger [Evening News]





Date: 05/12/2013

A journey over the full length of the new £350 million Borders Railway line will take as long as an hour during peak periods.
A draft timetable for the service obtained exclusively by the Evening News shows it will take 60 minutes for trains to travel from Waverley to Tweedbank, near Galashiels, during the busiest commuter hours in the morning and evening.
Critics have warned that the journey time could see commuters snub the line and stick to travelling by car.
