WAVERLEY LINE EDINBURGH TO CARLISLE

Motion Text

That this House urges both the United Kingdom and Scottish Parliaments to ensure the Waverley Line becomes a priority, which will open up both Midlothian and the Scottish Borders; and notes that it is imperative that the rail and road infrastructure is put into operation, which will support semi-rural and rural areas in their drive to develop their economic and tourism strategies that are being promoted following the demise of the coal and textile industries in these constituencies.
