The Waverley Route ran from Edinburgh, through the Scottish
Borders, to Carlisle. Opening in 1862, the line was closed in 1969
as a result of the Beeching Report; feelings ran so high when it
closed that there were protests which delayed the last passenger
service on the line by two hours, led to the arrest of the local
minister and required the local MP to mediate with the police.
However, there has been an upsurge of interest and the line is due
to re-open from Edinburgh to Galashiels in September 2015. Named
after the famous novel by Sir Walter Scott, the line ran through
the countryside where it was set, providing a link between some of
the most isolated communities in Britain. The Waverley Route
Through Time will take the reader on a tour through that beautiful
countryside, showing through a collection of old and contemporary
photographs how the local area has changed.
