BORDERS Buses has suspended X95 services between Hawick and Carlisle due to a closure on the A7.

And Borders Buses says it has taken the “hard decision” to stop all remaining X95 services for the remainder of the day due to the closure.

A spokesperson for the travel company said: “We have been informed that the A7 closure is expected to remain in place for most of the day.

“As this closure is out with our control, we have taken the hard decision to suspend all remaining X95 services between Hawick and Carlisle for the remainder of today.”
