RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2021 Dorking, formerly Dorking North, as it was when commissioned in 1938 for the electrification of the Mid-Sussex line to Bognor Regis and Havant, where it met the Portsmouth Direct electrification. Colour lights and power points - but still absolute block to the the boxes either side. The lush greenery in the background used to be EMU berthing sidings, from the days when Southern Railway established berthing points at every terminus and key station. Modern attitudes to traincrew management suggested that remote booking-on was not wise, and all these hole-in-the-wall berthing places got zapped, with ECS moves to/from main depots instead. I think this was 1st July 2012. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern attitudes to other people's property and the availability of cans of spray paint probably had a lot to do with closing stabling sidings too ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
