CBR is looking forward to the 2012 publication of Waverley Route: the Life, Death & Re-Birth of the Borders Railway by our member David Spaven. This new book aims to be the definitive account of the demise and ultimate revival of the railway to the Borders, and will be profusely illustrated, using unprecedented access to private photo collections – under the guidance of fellow member Bill Jamieson. You can find out more atwww.waverleyroutebook.info/web/Announcing.html
