FOLLOWING THE TWEED

Having had a pint in Galashiels, it's now time to look at the transport scene. LNER 9363 Hal o' the Wynd is seen there in 1936. 

Four years earlier, ex GER 2-4-2T No. 8310 was on shed.

Modern day Galashiels, as a 158 arrives from Tweedbank, heading for Edinburgh.

Lowland Buses was once the main operator in Galashiels.

This little Bedford operated the 'Border Courier' service.

An odd service vehicle in the Lowland fleet.

This is the new Galashiels Interchange.

Operators include Borders Buses and Perrymans.

Firstbus and an independent (Buskers) also can be found.

Just before we leave, a classic car comes past.

We now head west, to the village of Innerleithen, where find the Traquair Arms.

Not far away is Traquair House, Scotland's oldest inhabited house. Find out more here.

Around the back is the brewery!

We approach Peebles from the south (Creative Commons License).

The Tweed is crossed by this bridge (Creative Commons License).

Here's the view from the bridge, looking upstream.

Lowland Buses had a depot in Peebles.

Firstbus took over Lowland.

MacEwan's also ran a service, this vehicle heading for Biggar.

Next to the river is the Bridge pub, AKA The Trust. The Gents' toilet is classic!

The Neidpath Inn is also worth a visit.

The Cross Keys in 2004. It's now a Wetherspoons.

CAMRA's Whatpub site says that the Green Tree now has no real ale, a shame as it was a nice place.

The next post will find us entering Lanarkshire. Here is the route.
