Even before its establishment, Tring-Jonction was called the depot or the station. People from nearby municipalities came here to pick up their goods or sell what they locally produced in Tring-Jonction. Nobody can ignore the importance of the railway in Tring-Jonction's destiny: "a village of services". In 1944, there were still two main ways and 7 siding tracks.
Everything took place in Tring-Jonction. Many great encounters happened there. On evenings of passenger train arrivals, residents would go to the station to see passengers unload. One could witness lots of hugs and handshaking going on. Taxis were waiting in line to bring these travelers to their destination as required.Source: Bertrand Champagne Fund. 1952 Film.
