The tunnel is on the Hawick to Carlisle part of the former line, opened in the 1860s by the North British Railway.

The Waverley Route Heritage Association is currently aiming to restore the tunnel to former standards and use.

The tunnel is a Category B listed building[1] and forms a key part of the former route.

Although it is repairable, there is no source of funding and consequently the tunnel has been sealed off for public safety.
