The Campaign For Border Rail group held an annual general meeting this weekend for the first time in its 22 year history. The meeting, which was held at Tullie House in Carlisle, heard a loud call for the extension of the border rail northwards from the city through Hawick. This is hoped that this would complete the reinstatement of the main line formerly known as the Waverley Route.
