I see from the BBC - <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/scotland/4706301.stm>
- that the Waverley line re-opening has moved a stage further.

But I'm intrigued by the image they've used to illustrate the story -
<http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40692000/jpg/_40692539_closedstation203.jpg>.
It's identified in the <alt> tag simply as "Derelict station". I don't
recognise it. Is it perhaps Meadowbank Stadium?

Melrose. It's now a museum.

All the best,

It looks like Melrose station, which is beyond the proposed Tweedbank
terminus, towards Carlisle. The photograph was taken from beside the
A6091 Melrose bypass, which occupies the old trackbed at this point.

Thanks. Somehow it looked, to me, too modern to be a Waverley line
station, and I just assumed that it came out of the BBC's library of
"random pictures with a vaguely railway angle". I wonder why they
didn't identify it properly in the captions?

I think it maybe Melrose station before bypass put in and station 
facelifted.
