W.H. Auden would be happy to know that after briefly abandoning the railway, the post office is running trains again. Unlike in the famous poem, this one is off to England, from Edinburgh, still climbing up to Beattock though, many miles away beyond Carstairs. Passing East Torphin Farm and Harburn Golf Club.
