Many thanks for the video and well done on reopening the line, I hope it can be fully reopened down to Carlisle one day! Lack of sound is irrelevant, I'm just glad to see the route...
A great video. We emigrated to Australia in 1955 after living in Innerleithen on the Peebles Loop Line. Another sad closure. I do remember Waverley, Galashiels stations as well as Hawick and also travelling on the Waverley route as a wee lad. This video brings memories back after all these years. Thank you!
Excellent - many thanks...... Are you planning any more on other lines? One day, possibly quite soon, someone will regret those single line bridges....
Plan is to double the line in it's entirety when opened all the way to Carlisle. Expensive mistake I know,but makes sense in the long term. Typical shortsightedness though when phase one was opened.
Hope they put this route in train sim 3 as they just put Edinburgh to Glasgow in it. I was staying in Coldstream at the time the track was been built and remember been in galashiels opening day with the celebrations balloons and the steam flying Scotsman i think it was. Don't complain but be nice to have sound 🔊😂
I don't know if you remember but there was this plague thing going round back in 2020 that meant no one was travelling. In ordinary times, the line was very well used and is going back to being so. They've been having the exact opposite problem - overcrowding
What's so top secret? Railcowgirl in Norway has sound. Surely it can be checked and edited out if inappropriate. But nice video, sorry to complain. Quite often watch with music on anyway.
Nice video but shame about the lack of sound. What’s the problem including what the driver is saying to his mate? There are quite a few videos of the Australian XPT where the driver is only too happy to give a running commentary as he drives. Or was it a condition to allow you to film that there be no sound?
ScotRail Sorry I’m not with you, how does having the mike on make the driver aware he is being filmed? I could understand it if his voice would identify him to his employers. Perhaps some cameras make a beep when commencing recording?
ScotRail Thanks. I assume you mean that being listened to is itself a distraction like I can’t be myself on the phone talking to a friend if someone else is listening in on our conversation.
@@ScotRail I'm agreeing with the others. Why not just blank out the parts where the driver speaks or use the rear cab for the sounds although you wouldn't get the AWS warning sounds and the button and throttle sound it would be better than seeing the cab in silence.
A great video, how pathetic folk moan there is no sound ! its a train going from 1 destination to another does it need sound ? I have watched many train videos and even with sound you hardly hear a thing anyways , just be grateful we have a full Edinburgh to Tweedbank video ! as the last one i saw was like Tweedbank to Edinburgh in 4 minutes !! at high speed ! get a life ya moaning gits !

Super! Onwards now to Hawick!
Why just Hoik ? Why not to Carlisle ?
Thanks for this. Most enjoyable. And thanks to the North British for building it in the first place. Now let's crack on to Hawick.

TRAIN IS BRILLIANT AMAZING AND GRAND
I lived in Coldstream at the time everyone was all excited for it too

@@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf Well it's not going to Carlisle for starters.
@@pooletrainboy Wrong
@@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf Okay then prove it.
Great to see old lines opened up, long may it last! An awful lot of track for a few light commuter trains or is something else in the pipeline?
Hope they put this route in train sim 3 as they just put Edinburgh to Glasgow in it.

Been nice to have sound
I'm assuming the empty platforms is why Beeching closed it in the first place.
Beeching didn't close it. He had resigned by 1965 , this line closed in 1969.

Nice vid! Where does the line to the left go after leaving Newcraighall?
It goes to Millerhill then eventually reconnects to the ECML between Musselburgh and Wallyford.
Can't watch without sound. Need to change this Scotrail
Sorry to hear that Grant, we can't record sound in the cab I'm afraid. ^Ste

No secrets, it's just not fair to burden the driver with knowing their voice will be in the video - they've enough to concentrate on as it is! ^Angus
If you prefer sound. I've found a journey in the opposite direction, from Tweedbank to Edinburgh.

shame about the lack of sound, but a good watch otherwise

It's the distraction risk that knowing you'll be in the video could pose, Martindyna. ^Angus
ScotRail Sorry I’m not with you, how does having the mike on make the driver aware he is being filmed? I could understand it if his voice would identify him to his employers. Perhaps some cameras make a beep when commencing recording?
It's because we fitted this camera specially - the driver agreed to it being there. ^Angus

Umm maybe some audio that would be very helpful
Nice vid. Would be nice with the sound though. These cab vids are always better with sound.
I'm afraid not, as it would include anything the driver says! ^Angus
@@ScotRail I mean you could just edit out that part as their should not be much of it.
@@ScotRail Would it be practical to start recording audio on a second device, and place it in the rear cab if it's unused?
@@ScotRail Would that be so bad so long as security info was not discussed?

I want to hear the sound of the train and stuff, it just feels flat and not very real without sound
