Peebles Railways

Peebles Railways brings together a history of the three lines from promotion in the 19th century to closure in the British Railways era. While concentrating on the main lines, the author gives us a taste of the Talla Reservoir line and that at Culter Waterhead near Biggar, as well as branches to Polton, Penicuik and Dolphinton. The book does, however, cover the railway operations, the occasional accident and even the Border Show in 1906, a major event of its day. Bringing the reader up to date with details of closure notices and last trains. The story concludes with the plan to re-open the line to Galashiels from Edinburgh.
