The Borders Railway connects the city of Edinburgh with Galashiels and Tweedbank in the Scottish Borders. The railway follows most of the alignment of the northern part of the Waverley Route, a former double-track line in southern Scotland and northern England that ran between Edinburgh and Carlisle. That line was controversially closed in 1969, as part of the Beeching cuts, leaving the Borders region without any access to the National Rail network. Following the closure, a campaign to revive the Waverley Route emerged. Discussion on reopening the northern part of the line came to a head during the early 2000s. Following deliberations in the Scottish Parliament, the Waverley Railway (Scotland) Act 2006 received royal assent in June 2006. The project was renamed the "Borders Railway" in Aug

  • ボーダーズ・レールウェイ(英語: Borders Railway)はイギリス・スコットランドにある鉄道路線である。スコットランドの首都であるエディンバラと、(いずれもスコティッシュ・ボーダーズ)を結んでいる。 路線の大部分は1969年にビーチング報告書をもとに廃止された(カーライル~エディンバラ)の北部区間に沿って敷設されている。ウェイヴァリー線の廃止はボーダーズ地方の鉄道網の喪失(沿岸部を東海岸本線が通っているが駅はない)を意味し、激しい論争の中廃止となったものである。廃止後、再開業を求める運動が行われ、2000年代前半には北部区間の再開業に向けた議論が山場を迎えた。スコットランド議会での議論ののち、2006年6月にが成立し、2008年8月に現在の名称であるボーダーズ・レールウェイに改称された。工事は2012年11月に着工、2015年9月5日に開業した。なお、9月9日にはエリザベス2世臨席の下、開業式典が行われている。 (ja)
