Also standing in platform 2 is 158727 switched off. Three services in each direction had to be cancelled to allow the steam specials due to the tight service train timings and the numerous 20mph slowings for the specials affecting them.
Journey's end and the support crew take on water during the 2 or so hour layover. The design of the station does allow for further extension of the line possibly to Hawick. Busses were laid on for passengers to local places of interest like nearby Melrose as there is absolutely nothing in Tweedbank.....AT ALL!!
158727 and 60009 stand at Tweedbank. Four days later I did the next trip as part of the support crew and rode on the footplate all the way there and back, just AWESOME!! 17/9/2015.
