Photo yesterday at Tweedbank. Lots of piles already in the ground along the line too.

I've used them a couple of times with a friend, so two bikes booked on. The first time my bike fell from the on board wheelchair/bike space as I hadn't secured it properly and the bus swings around much more than the train. The second time the driver commented on how dirty my friend's bike was...

I suspect this is it on its way to Inverness. I cannot find any return trip, though. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:56423/2023-05-04/detailed

This is excellent news ... I will be able to get my bicycle up to Viana and the Minho area from Porto next time I'm there, so long as there are enough 2240 diagrams, or the Arco stock will allow cycles (I doubt they'll be, or at least won't be convenient)..

The Longniddry (ECML nr Edinburgh) to Haddington branch. The Pencaitland path in East Lothian has a few information boards at the sites of various historic coal mines which the railway served. The Strathpeffer branch from the Dingwall and Skye railway is in the process of being turned into a...
