Alex Salmond is calling for the Borders Railway to be extended to Carlisle to help the economic recovery after the pandemic.
The Alba Party leader also suggested the A77 from Ayr to Stranraer should be made a dual carriageway to “turbo boost” the recovery in the south of Scotland.
At a campaign event at Melrose Abbey to launch his new party’s South Scotland campaign, Mr Salmond will argue that Scottish independence is needed to provide the “financial clout” to fund big infrastructure projects such as railway and road expansions.
