FOUR of the biggest tourist train operators in Scotland have backed proposals for an upgrade of the planned rail terminus in Tweedbank. It is claimed the move to accommodate longer trains on the new line between Edinburgh and the Borders would attract more visitors to the area and could earn the local economy an extra £500,000 a year.
