I hate to quibble with the information on the web site, but Peebles 
hasn't had a rail link since the 1960s. IIRC, it was on the 
old "Waverley Route" from Carlisle to Edinburgh which was closed 
along with thousands of other miles of lines under the Beeching Plan.

Any train heading northwards from Kings Cross to Scotland would 
either follow the East Coast Main Line (ECML) into Edinburgh or swing 
west at Newcastle across to Carlisle and pick up the WCML through 
Lockerbie and Motherwell into Glasgow.
