Borders Railway, Railway line in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
The Borders Railway extends for 30 miles between Edinburgh and Tweedbank through the regions of Midlothian and the Scottish Borders.
The railway line follows the path of the former Waverley Route that operated from 1849 to 1969, connecting Edinburgh with the Scottish Borders region.
The railway stations provide access to numerous heritage sites, including Abbotsford House, the residence of writer Sir Walter Scott, and the National Mining Museum.
Trains run every 30 minutes during peak hours, with the complete journey from Edinburgh to Tweedbank taking approximately 55 minutes.
The construction required 140 bridges and tunnels, making it the longest domestic railway built in Britain since the Nottingham line in 1901.
