Borders Railway extension: Approval sought for project manager job

The original 98-mile (158km) Waverley Route between Edinburgh and Carlisle closed in 1969 as part of the Beeching cuts to the UK rail network.

A 30-mile (48km) section, between Edinburgh Waverley and Tweedbank, reopened in September 2015, at a cost of £294m.

As part of the Borderlands deal, signed by both governments in 2021, £10m was earmarked for a feasibility study into extending the line across the border.

Part of that project would be to appoint a senior project manager to oversee the process.

A report to the council recommends that it agrees to take forward recruitment for the post.

It will also set up the first meeting of a cross-party working group and the Borders Railway reference group once the appointment process has started.
