Hawick [2nd]

Scottish Grand Tour No 6, headed by Class 47 No 1974, has reached Hawick on 4 January 1969, and the locals are showing what they think of the imminent closure of the Waverley Route. Thankfully, the Edinburgh to Tweedbank section has now re-opened, and there is increasing pressure to extend the line to Hawick, if not Carlisle.
