In passing I notice that the Peebles Railway, Esk Valley Railway and Edinburgh & Dalkeith Railway templates on Wikipedia are all misleading in relation to the station of Eskbank. Eskbank (1st station) was on the route of the E&DR about 400 yards north of the junction with the Peebles Railway. The modern station of Eskbank (built by the Borders Railway) is about 300 yards south of the site of the junction. The Edinburgh & Dalkeith Railway template shows both stations north of the junction. The Peebles Railway template shows only the modern station, incorrectly sited north of the junction. The Esk Valley template appears to show a closed Eskbank station located on the Peebles Railway.
A minor point, but perhaps worth fixing to avoid future confusion!!
