An excellent day out with colleagues from Railfuture North East as we travelled to Galashiels for a Railfuture Scotland meeting with an interesting talk on both the campaign for and the building of the Borders Railway. Of course, we all went on to Tweedbank as well and returned to Galashiels, just to have travelled on the entire route. On the return journey, I was optimistic in hoping that the 16:59 arrival at Edinburgh Waverley might allow me to catch the 17:00 VTEC southbound service home via Alnmouth, sadly it was not to be, so I had to wait 2 hours at Waverley station for the 19:00 musing about why Morpeth needs a better service to / from Edinburgh.
