Is a new station actually planned for Melrose? The abbey is a little over a mile along the river from Tweedbank. Unless the main road is going to be re-routed there is very little room at the Old Melrose Station. I thought that the only intermediate station was going to be St Boswells?
I figured using the existing platform at Melrose wouldn't be too difficult, although you'd have to do something at the southern end to get past the bit that's been commandeered by the road. It doesn't look insurmountable, although double track would be much harder to fit in than single.
