December 1985

Post by Cuddie Headrigg »

Memory is not functioning. Can anyone tell me why services were terminating at Berwick from the South. I think it may be due to flooding in the Dunbar area. Anyone verify this?

Could it have been the landslip at Lamberton?

I think it was the slip just north of Lamberton, the line was moved further to the west. If I remember correctly the local farmer had noticed a bulge and raised the alarm....but as you say ...memories!!!
