Borders rail tracks, cycle budgets, and Love
Published 12 February 2015 by Colin HowdenToday saw the completion of track-laying for the Borders Railway, another important milestone in this long-awaited project.
Meanwhile, Richard Ardern has an excellent letter in today’s Herald, ‘Railway focus must now switch to the north’. He even mentions our Inter-City Express campaign!
The City of Edinburgh Council have been debating their budget today, and, according to reports from Cllr Lesley Hinds on Twitter, have apparently agreed to devote 8% of their transport budget to cycling.
@SpokesLothian @Edinburgh_CC @CyclingEdin @TransformScot @AndrewDBurns 8% for both capital and revenue. In Tories budget no increase

Edinburgh have also been advising rugby fans regarding this weekend’s Six Nations match. There’s clearly some concern that the trams might become a bit swamped. So where are all the people now who told us that no-one would use the trams?
Finally, Stop Climate Chaos Scotland have been doing a photo opp for their Show The Love climate campaign:
