First Class for FREE on the Scottish Borders Railway? (Kind of!)

Let's take a trip on the ScotRail Borders Railway Edinburgh to Tweedbank. And then back from Galashiels to Edinburgh. And let's travel FREE in FIRST CLASS - well, kind of! 😂 The Borders Railway was a casualty of the famous Doctor Beeching cuts back in the 1960s. But the section from Edinburgh to Tweedbank re-opened in 2015. And there's talk of extending the line further to Carlisle. We take a Class 170 from Edinburgh Newcraighall down to Tweedbank. And then walk from Tweedbank to Galashiels, checking out some sights on the way. Then we return to Newcraighall from Galashiels and bag a sort of free upgrade to First Class. 00:00 Intro 00:21 Newcraighall Station and Class 170 01:51 Gorebridge to Galashiels and arrival at Tweedbank 02:55 Doctor Beeching and the history of the Borders Railway 03:44 Walking from Tweedbank to Galashiels - crossing the River Tweed 05:29 Exploring Galashiels 06:53 Return journey - First Class for Free 09:07 Wrap up #ScotRail #BordersRailway #EdinburghTrains If you enjoyed this episode of RogVLOG please subscribe to my YouTube Channel:    / rogeredwardsmarketingtv   Twitter:   / roger_edwards   Instagram:   / rogeraedwards   LinkedIn:   / rogeraedwards   Music: epidemicsound.com
