Mansfield South Jct
A Class 44 comes off the Rufford Branch at Mansfield South Junction around 1975.
Another train off the Rufford Branch at Mansfield South Junction, this time in 1981.
The driver prepares to hand over the pouch containing the single-line token.
Turning around we see the train head towards Sutton Jct. The remains of the recently lifted down siding can be seen beneath junction signals 3 (main) and 5 (branch). The up advanced starter (No 31) can be seen in the far distance to the left of the locomotives.
A train from the Rufford Branch hands over the single-line token at Mansfield South Junction sometime in the mid-1970s.

Excellent site. I’ve been looking for details and photos of the South Jct. box and now my search is over. I remember it well from my youth in the 70′s. Does anyone know when it was removed and whether any items from the box survive?
Hi,
I know one of the tablet pouches survives at the Midland Railway Centre. It is ‘deeply marked’ in the leather, Mansfield South. Have used it frequently.
