    Yellow box junctions

    I understand the rules of a yellow box junction but don't understand why somebody should be fined if they find themselves stuck due to rush hour traffic jams. I have received a fine from TfL for entering and stopping in a signalled box junction when my exit wasn't clear, but on most days, in...

    Trivia - Stations that used to have nearby villages suffixed to the main nameboard which have been removed

    Three that I know well: Snowdown (in Kent) was called Snowdown & Nonington at one time and Three Oaks (in East Sussex) used to be called Three Oaks & Guestling. There was also Ham Street & Orlestone. However, we still have Chestfield & Swalecliffe and Borough Green & Wrotham still in existence...

    Southern Class 313 withdrawal/storage/scrapping updates

    Probably a bit premature for a "313 withdrawal thread" but with further reductions in the Southern timetable (from 15th May), e.g. withdrawal of the Brighton - West Worthing stoppers and Hove/Lewes shuttles, will units be placed into warm store or just rotated to keep them serviceable?
