Today, Freightliner 66528 was named "Madge Elliot MBE - Borders Railway Opening 2015" to honour Madge Elliot, who is renowned for her campaining efforts for reopening the Waverley Line (Edinburgh-Carlisle). In September, the line section between Edinburgh and Tweedbank will be reopened under its new name: the Borders Railway.
