The area around Three Brisges is split up into different areas and covers a large area, although most of it is now dissused. The station is seved by Southern with 377's and Thameslink 319's, and the occasional passing Virgin 220 or 221.

1 Three Bidges Station.

There are three stabling points here, all to the west of the main line, where Southern 377's are kept, normally over night. They are to the north of the station, adjasent to platform 1 and to the south. All are visible from the platforms.

2 Engine Road

This is to the south west of the station, off the Horsham branch. EWS have a shed here used for Virgin Voyagers. Unfortunalty these are normally kept inside. Some engineering units are kept along side the north of the shed and both can be seen by passing trains on the Horsham branch to Crawley.

3 Up Yard

To the south of Three Bridges Station, this is infequently used now, but you still see the occasional loco on enginerring trains etc. This area again is only clearly visible from passing trains, this time on the Brighton Main Line.

4 Down Yard

To the east of the Brighton Main Line and south of Three Bridges Station. Used by engineering units and MPV's. Normally get quite a few of these stabled up in here. This area is visible from passing trains on the Brighton line and also if you go out of Three Bridges Station and turn right, under the railway bridge, the first right again. Keep walking up the hill and past the signal box, the yard is visible on your right.

The yard at Three Bridges used to boast 33s and 73s as well as some other classes and resident shunters. However, the yard is considerably reduced in operation. On my last visit(23/10/03)there were no locos or shunters in the yard. Just south of here is a stone terminal which receives periodic visits from Class 60s and 66s.
