Give us our Railway back! Dumfries to Edinburgh and Glasgow

Give the rail link back to Dumdries.

Don't isolate people who can't afford private vehicles.

It makes ecological and economic sense!

This would be excellent. It has always seemed illogical that there is no station between Dumfries and Sanquhar a distance of over 20 miles .

We have been requesting our MP & MSP for some years to open either Closeburn or Thornhill station. Closeburn would be most accessible for the regular bus route.

My family live around Dumfries this would be good for the community both in and out of the town

Would love this to happen!

Badly needed

Good shout. Strategic thinking.

Regular visitor to Dumfries. Nearly always use public transport. This would be a transformation of my journey into something civilsed

Electrification of the Line from Carlisle to Lockerbie via Dumfries and Lochmaben would allow electric trains to run to Manchester or London via this route and freight trains

Reopening this can provide a local train service on the west coast main line calling at Beattock in the future, Lockerbie to Dunfries via lochmaben offering alternative route if the main line is shut between Carlisle and Lockerbie another alternative to a bus service. I am involved with the Beattock Station Action Group also a member of rail future Scotland.

THis is a great idea!

I would very much like trains to stop at Thornhill so I could get on there instead of driving to Dumfries or Sanquhar.

Give us back our railway .

This would be great! so useful!

This is years over due!

We really need the railway back. This is a no brainer. Anyone with eyes to see sand look at the change the Borders Railway has made.

I will be able to visit the Polish Club in Edinburgh for lunch.

This whole region would benefit from this. Make it happen.
