Re: ECML Lothian area
There are also calls for local stations to be re-opened south of Berwick as well, SENRUG believe that reopening stations such as Beal and Belford would provide a much needed boost to the local economy and tourism. If these proposals could be combined with the scottish scheme, we could possibly have a really useful Newcastle to Edinburgh stopping service again.
