'Adventure Six' (4 Parts) by P.J. Hammond

a.k.a. 'The Trap'
'The Cafe'
'The Petrol Station'

Sapphire and Steel arrive at a deserted service station on a backwater road, and meet fellow time agent Silver. A couple from the year 1948 arrive - their car has broken down and they need help. An old man from 1925, and a travelling musical-player from the year 1957 also arrive at the station. Sapphire, Steel and Silver are suspicious as to the lack of interest shown by the couple in the modern trappings of the petrol station, and the strange unused condition of the musician's tambourine. The three strangers are revealed as Transient Beings, enemies of the elemental Sapphire and Steel. The three Beings have escaped entombment in the past by using a device called a Time Box. Sapphire, Steel and Silver realise that they have been lured into a trap laid for them by Time, but before they can escape, the three Transient Beings use a Time Box to trap the time detectives inside the petrol station. The agents find themselves floating through the infinity of space, trapped forever…
