The Borders Railway is a railway line in Scotland that connects the city of Edinburgh to the Scottish Borders region. Opened in September 2015, it is the longest new railway line built in the UK in over a century. The line spans approximately 30 miles and includes several stations, providing improved access to the scenic countryside and local communities. This railway project was aimed at enhancing transport links and boosting the local economy. It serves both commuters and tourists, making it easier to travel between Edinburgh and towns like Galashiels and Tweedbank. The Borders Railway is part of a broader effort to revitalize rail services in the region.
