Edinburgh to Tweedbank in 3 minutes

Fancy a trip down the Borders Railway? Who doesn't?!

[@andrew64315]

one thing that never made sense to me is why they never electrified the borders railway when it was first built

Money

[@andrew64315]

@NathanEntertainmentYT the line was electrified before they built Millerhill EMU yard

[@LuisRodriguez-xt9ly]

When is the Railway getting electric trains on it, eg when is the full line getting overhead wires?

[@Marcsharp82]

Tomorrow afternoon

What class of EMU was this was it a 385

[@ScottishTravel]

looks like a class 170

[@scotrailfan170]

Ok thanks I was happy to see 185 trains in stonheavan but when are more classes of trains going from Dundee to stoneheaven?

[@andyl966]

It isn’t a 385 1. Because there is no electrification on sed line and 2. The 385’s are only used on routes such as Glasgow QST to Alloa, Edinburgh Waverley Edinburgh Waverley via cumbernauld , Edinburgh Waverley to north Berwick (sometimes a 380) etc.
