Passenger numbers on the Tweedbank to Edinburgh line have increased during the October holidays, according to the rail franchise.

The trains were cancelled on Wednesday and replaced by a bus service.

Earlier this month the new line was hailed a “soaraway success”, after more than 125,000 journeys were made during its first month.
