Hawick [2nd]
Scene at Hawick on the last Saturday of passenger sevices over the Waverley Route, 4 January 1969. On the platform is a group of protestors, complete with symbolic black coffin, addressed to transport minister Richard Marsh, which was sent south by train. [Editor's note: The shifty-looking character on the right of the photograph, who appears to be rifling through the rucksack of an unsuspecting bystander, is a local ne'er-do-well named McCartney, last heard of in the Langholm area.]
