About SideTracked

We have Motorway Mayhem. We have A-Road Anarchy (cos there aren’t many Motorways in Wales!). But what about public transport users? SideTracked Caches are intended to provide quick Cache-and-dashes at Train Stations.

SideTracked started at Evesham station on August 10th 2007, placed by schnarff & bikermel76. It took a while to get started, but is now spreading across the country!

It is hoped the series will continue to spread…but if hiding one PLEASE BE SENSIBLE and remember that in this day and age, public transport is under greater scrutiny than ever before, so, although these caches should be quick and easy grabs, PLEASE don’t place a Cache where it could cause alarm!!! Please ensure that you aware of the new rules of 04/09/08 before hiding your Cache!

About Redditch Train Station

There has been a train station in Redditch since 1859, when a new line from Barnt Green to Redditch was opened.

At the time the line ran to a junction at Ashchurch passing through several villages including Salford Priors! (This line was closed by Dr Beeching in 1866 - you can explore the area if you do our Salford Seven series!)

The station at Redditch has moved 3 times to allow redevelopment in the town. If you check it out on Google Earth, you'll notice that the track arrives at the station, and then just ends!

Trains run approximately every 30 minutes, linking the town with Birmingham New Street and running direct to Lichfield in Staffordshire.

The station is managed by Central Trains. It has just the one platform, as all trains are shuttles to Lichfield, a small snack shop, and parking is available at £3.50 per day.

Congratulations to ZoomLens - First To Find on 19th August 2007
