Hi Alistair hope you are well those memories wont ever go away Thank goodness for old footage More old branch lines are reopening 50 are being consdered at the moment mostly in England .but fingers crossed you never know Kind regards Alrx 👍👍👍👮👮👮
00:40. Melrose. It's still very much there as it is a listed and restored building, complete with canopy and all very much as seen here. It clung to the side of a hill and the remaining down platform is entered from the carpark one storey below. The offices are a restuarant/pub. The up platform was removed for the road connecting the A7 at Galashiels with the A68 at Jedburgh. The up platform toilets are now on the Severn Valley Railway and there is film of them being removed from Melrose about 1971. It's nice but sad to see this video. I've always wanted to see footage of the Galashiels- Peebles, Edinburgh route. It was probably a better candidate for restoration. It was flatter, but longer, and gave access to more population along the Tweed Valley. It would make a very handy circuit too, going back via the old Waverley Route that is now reopened.
More forgotten memories re-awakened, Alrx. Thank you. 🎯 Railways-wise, this upload is 'All Our Yesterdays'. Now we have 'All Our Todays' ... And, for me, a somewhat *perplexing* question: In what condition will future Scots et al. find 'All Our Tomorrows'? Metaphysical meanderings from R F, as usual. Pelters welcome! Stay free. Bye for now, A. R 🍻😎
Hi Steve good news Scottish Gov looking at the feasibility of opening Leven and Hawick lines at the present time you will see all results on your search engine thank you Alrx. 👮👮🚄🚄
Thanks Rab all those branch lines closing terrible But they are looking at reopening some As so many people with population growth etc Left isolated in some situations so fingers crossed thank you Alrx 🍷🍷👍👍

@@alrxanderwylie6512 Pomathorn Halt is about 5 minutes from me and that's the first movie footage I've seen of it. I can remember DMUs at Walkerburn from boyhood holidays. I actually lived next to the old Princes St. to Leith North line in Edinburgh as a boy. I think the rest of that film will be interesting regardless of where it is.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of railway history.

@@alrxanderwylie6512 let's hope it's put back so we can use it soon rather than later
Judging by the abrupt end this must come from a longer film. I'd love to know what it is so I can track it down.

@@alrxanderwylie6512 I finally found the video the clip is on. It's called Scottish Byways, Part 1. It's now in my possession.
Hi Donald that's great I have so many old videos I should keep records
Take care Alrx 📽️
Dose anyone know what year this video was taken when the train passes through Walkerburn?
