You'll be amazed to know that the Waverley Rail Project has issued a press release; it's first in five months. In it they tell us that 'The Waverley Railway Project is on track to re-establish a passenger service from Edinburgh through Midlothian to Tweedbank in the Scottish Borders.'
Slight problem here. Work on construction is supposed to start this year. Any sign of it happening? First trains to run by 2011?
They also say. 'As a result of the planned change in Authorised Undertaker to Transport Scotland, Scottish Ministers are conducting a due diligence exercise, at the end of which they will state the way forward for the railway.' Does the appointment of an undertaker mean the project is dead and buried?
Funnily enough still no mention of a revised budget. Makes you wonder how much has already been spent on consultants and other preparatory work.
