As part of my Masters Degree, I presented a paper on the Waverley Line and its closure. It's partial reopening holds quite a bit of appeal to me.
Apparently, a return journey between Edinburgh and Tweedbank is priced at £16 peak and £11.50 off-peak.
It is something I have been following for a while and I am pleased to see it come off.
Rather than do a return, I have looked in to a bus there and train back or vice versa.

I'm heading the other way next week instead, and I've noticed that there's a West Coast trip planned to depart from York, not long after I arrive there. Hopefully some different locos to photograph.
There was a steam loco in Carlisle last week, pulling a West Coast trip. Didn't get id unfortunately.
Plenty punters taking photos of that and 158849, that I guess was in on a Settle run.
