The Waverley Route was a railway line that ran south from Edinburgh, through Midlothian and the Scottish Borders, to Carlisle. The line was built by the North British Railway; the stretch from Edinburgh to Hawick opened in 1849 and the remainder to Carlisle opened in 1862. The line was nicknamed after the immensely popular Waverley Novels, written by Sir Walter Scott. The line was closed in 1969, as a result of the Beeching Report. Part of the line, from Edinburgh to Tweedbank, reopened in September 2015. The reopened railway is known as the Borders Railway.

  • Die Waverley Line (auch als Waverley Route oder Borders Railway bezeichnet) ist eine Eisenbahnstrecke in Schottland. Sie verläuft von Edinburgh durch die Scottish Borders nach Carlisle im Norden Englands. Erbaut wurde die Strecke zwischen 1849 und 1862 von der North British Railway. Ihren Namen erhielt sie nach dem Roman Waverley von Sir Walter Scott. Ab 1921 wurde sie von der London and North Eastern Railway betrieben, ab 1948 von British Railways. Im Zuge der umfangreichen Streckenstilllegungen während der als Beeching Axe bekannten Umstrukturierung des britischen Eisenbahnnetzes in den 1960er Jahren wurde die Strecke trotz erheblicher öffentlicher Proteste stillgelegt.
