Scope and Content Hawick Station, Hawick, Roxburghshire Hawick was the terminus of the Hawick branch of the North British Railway, opened in 1849, but this station dates from the construction of the Border Union Railway from Hawick to Carlisle, which opened in 1862. This view shows the road side of the large stone-built goods shed. The scale of this building and its massive construction illustrate the importance of the textile and other traffic it handled. Internally it had two platforms, an unusual feature. The building of the line to Carlisle gave the North British its own cross-border route, which it marketed as the Waverley Route. Through trains ran to London via the Midland Railway's Settle & Carlisle line. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
