Tweedbank

They say a good way to gauge the key issues of the day from an an old photograph is to study the content of any billboards featured in the picture. This photograph, taken through the mesh fence alongside Tweedbank station in the spring of 2022, shows a trio of topical themes, captured here for posterity. The first is one of the many covid warnings issued at that time, stressing the importance of wearing a face mask. The second concerns the need to make journeys safer by not consuming alcohol in stations or on trains. The third, ostensibly about the availability of up-to-date timetable information online, takes the opportunity to re-emphasise the face mask message.
