Scottish Borders Council increases funding for rail station

The Scottish Border Council has stepped up its funding offer towards reopening a rail station at Reston in Berwickshire.

The council has committed £2.84 million for the delivery of a local rail service between Edinburgh and Berwick-upon-Tweed. Nearby authority East Lothian Council has also offered £3.44 million for
reopening a station at East Linton.

Current estimates are £10.63 million for a new station at Reston and £11.13 million for a new station at East Linton. The councils hope that the local authorities will provide 50 per cent of the costs of both stations.

Councillor Gordon Edgar said: "I am pleased that the council has been able to increase its offer to the Scottish government towards the delivery of Reston station, and we continue to work closely with partners to ensure this becomes a reality as soon as possible."
