 The Waverley Route through Hawick
The conference was held in Hawick's town hall, behind which a lane runs up the hill to a steel overbridge which marks the route of the line across the hillside and through the town.

For the middle part of the bus journey from Hawick the Waverley route's trackbed is often visible to one side of the road.
