Border rail link
If I wanted to go to Edinburgh it would be for a little "retail therapy". I'm hardly going to travel three miles the "wrong way" to park at Tweedbank and then wrestle with bags and packages coming back when I can either use the car or the very convenient bus stop outside my home.

Dr Richard Crockett (Letters, 10 March) is wrong to describe the current bus service to the Borders as offering "third-world conditions".

Hide AdI travelled by bus from Edinburgh to Hawick recently. There was no livestock in the passenger compartment, no-one was hanging on to the outside of the bus, we were not intercepted by bandits, and the driver was qualified and competent.
