I have a 2000 ford focus estate and the drive to work is only 15 minutes, whenever I was stopped at a junction or going really slow the car cut out . Any ideas

Has the car been serviced recently? Any other recent issues?

If you open the bonnet and put your ear around the intake manifold, see if you can hear any hissing.
There's some large vacuum pipes inside the frame of the intake manifold and they're notorious for splitting, disrupting the values obtained by the MAP sensor, and allowing stalling to happen much easier. Don't always light the EML either...

The pipes

And they're inside the manifold on the front of the engine.

Actually, if you look down through the manifold pipes you should be able to see that rubber hose and see if it's collapsed.
