Porty People and Places

Put out more flags!
Put out even more flags if a new railway line is opening.
Put out all the flags in the Portobello Community locker if HM The Queen is passing through our local station next week, accompanied by The First Minister on a steam hauled train formally to open, or rather re-open, The Borders Railway. 
The Press Train goes down the line tomorrow and the Golden Ticket winners train goes on Saturday - the golden tickets were those who entered a competition to be on the first train.
It is great to see a new railway line re-open. I suspect it will be very busy in the early weeks and hopefully continually busy thereafter.
It is also great to see members of the Community Council being so proactive in this way, when we went up to the station to see off our youngest on his journey back to London this afternoon.
Thank you, ladies, for not only being brilliant members of our local community but also for agreeing to be in my Blip today.
