Berwick Rail Services

[Bugs]

From The Berwick Advertiser:

CROSS-border MPs have repeated their demand that rail services to and from Berwick will not suffer from the nationalisation of the east coast main line.

Sir Alan Beith, MP for Berwick, and Michael Moore, MP for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, were speaking following confirmation that the route is to be nationalised in December.

Internal briefing documents released on Tuesday show that transport officials expect the east coast main line will be operated by the Government for at least 18 months.
