 SORRY, SOLD OUT 

"Borders Railway From Start To Finish" is a series of 34 programmes documenting the return of the railway line from Edinburgh to the Scottish Borders for the first time since its closure in 1969. It's a fascinating account of how the area got its railway back after it was axed as a result of the "Beeching Cuts". This box set contains the complete six series produced between 2013 and 2015 as well as the Movie "Story Of The Borders Railway" and an extra DVD packed with special features. This is the most comprehensive piece of work on the subject with exclusive footage and unprecedented access during the construction period, and for producer Stuart Cameron and presenter Paul Brownlee, this is the result of three years of dedicated work on the subject.
