An MSP has raised concerns about completely unacceptable train delays between Edinburgh and Midlothian on the Borders Railway.

This follows the publication of a performance update by Scotrail earlier this month, which revealed that 51.4 per cent of trains travelling on the line which was opened in 2015 were delayed last year, which includes trains travelling between Edinburgh and Tweedbank via Gorebridge, Newtongrange and Eskbank.
