I want to thank our development partner Hub South East and its contractor Morrison Construction for the work they’ve done in creating this magnificent Transport Interchange. This is a landmark building for Borderers and visitors using the new railway, and will also play an important role in helping the Council achieve its long term aim of promoting better connections between all means of sustainable transport.
