Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said:

“I am delighted that East Lothian and the Scottish Borders Councils have accepted my increased funding offer for Reston and East Linton stations.  The Scottish Government has always been a strong supporter of these stations and my substantial funding offer reflects the value we place on the social and economic benefits the stations could potentially bring to Reston, East Linton and surrounding communities.”
