60526 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 A friend has passed this photo of a junction station over to me asking me where it is. He thinks that it the Brighton main line but it doesn't ring any bells. Any thoughts ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Shaw Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Not on the LBSCR at all but actually Sandling Junction on the SER main line to Folkestone. The branch diverging to the right went to Hythe (Kent). Regards Martin 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 You can't see that view for trees and a fence on the road bridge now ............. the branch and 'box have gone, of course, - and the footbridge roof - but the station's much the same. otherwise ( CTRL tracks out of sight to the left ).

roythebus Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Deffo Sandling Junction. The Folkestone & Hythe MRC has a superb layout of Hythe in OO gauge. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_mcfarlane Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 This was Sandling in 2011. Even the trackless branch platform is still there (one of them, the other was removed long before closure). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
