I can certainly confirm that the Department for Transport will be considering a feasibility study on the extension of the borders railway.
Hugh Gaffney (Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill) (Lab)

Mel Stride
We are totally committed to supporting infrastructure in Scotland. That is why we have announced £1.3 billion to support eight city growth deals that will promote economic growth, prosperity and jobs in Scotland.
