The motion
That this House welcomes the recent vote in the Scottish Parliament in favour of the reinstatement of the Waverley Railway link between Edinburgh and Tweedbank in the Scottish Borders; notes that there were 114 votes in favour of restoring the rail link and only one vote against; congratulates the hard work of all those who have been working to promote the economic, social and environmental benefits of the rail link; further notes that the reinstatement of the line, some 37 years after its closure, will be the largest rail project in the UK since the building of the Channel Tunnel; and looks forward to the first trains rolling in 2011.
