It almost beggars belief that in this economic climate, the Scottish Government have announced that they can't find anyone willing to build the Borders Rail Link.
Actually, no, it doesn't. This is a big capital project in Scotland, that involves laying tracks within Edinburgh. Anyone with half a brain would hear those words and run a mile.
But it's yet another blow to a project that the SNP government have never been too fond of. I've little doubt that if this had been a new motorway from Edinburgh to Galashiels then it would have been signed, sealed and built within their first four year term. Their attitude to public transport stinks, quite frankly.
So what now for the Waverley Line? Network Rail and Transport Scotland will oversee the work, subcontracting as they go. Since they're the experts, they should have been doing it anyway, and they should have started four years ago.
