HOPES have been raised this week of another train station being created in the Borders.

For over a decade campaigners have been calling for an East Coast Mainline stop at Reston in Berwickshire.

The Scottish Government has included a new station in its spending plans for the next five years.

And this week Network Rail tabled a screening request to Scottish Borders Council's planning department.

The outline plans for a new Reston Station include 260-metre platforms either side of the Berwick-to-Edinburgh line as well as a footbridge, shelters and a 70-space car park.

The plans will be considered over the coming weeks by planning officials.
