The Met Office has a new Beta web site. Can anyone say where their picture of a train in sleet was taken:

That link only takes you to the home page which doesn't have the picture on (not for me anyway)

Needless to say the picture on my link changed. The one at the top of your link is the same as I saw.

And I don't know where it is!

The sign on the right-hand platform appears to show directions to a school but even with maximum zoom I can't properly read the name.

I did a Google image search on the photo and can reveal the answer. It's London Road (Brighton).
