Hurst Green junction - May 2001

Trains travelling north from Uckfield encounter their first piece of third rail at Hurst Green Junction, where the electrified East Grinstead line branches off.

The junction is controlled from Oxted signalbox; until electrification it was controlled from a mechanical box located opposite the equipment cabins in the middle distance.

In this view to the north, the platforms of Hurst Green station can just be seen. (Grid Ref. TQ 402 512)
