Dated railway relationship · Qualified

Hawick allocation without an invented train

SRPS records Morayshire moving to Hawick after two years at Thornton Junction. The register represents the Hawick allocation from 1960 to withdrawal on 3 July 1961 as qualified to year precision. The allocation and photograph do not establish a named service, frequency of route use or a dated Waverley working.
