Geocache Description:

Original box has now, sadly, been replaced with a dreaded magnetic. Once the ongoing works and the summer greenery have subsided, will replace with anohther box.

The infamous Dr Beeching had a lot to answer for...... His Government sponsored report closed numerous railway lines and stations up and down the country that were, at that time in the 1960's, the essential lifeblood for those areas as that relied on the rural railway network for personal transport to and from their workplaces as well as a means of getting their source of income - fish, game or crops - to and from market.



This is the location of the former Largo Station, adjacent to the lovely railway viaduct/bridge which most can see when en-route to do another nearby cache.



It now has the standard crop of 'waste recycling point' plastic monuments, consisting of various ugly coloured boxes but traces of its more regal past are also available for view. Original concrete foundations are still here, and all walls in the area are made from railway sleepers. Whats more, allegedly, there is the original BR logo embedded in the ground somewhere towards the entrance to the area but I could not spot it..... Have a rake around and be an original FTF!!



Works of some sort are currently ongoing but its still possible to walk past them eastwardsish along the former railway cutting along the East Neuk line to more caches yet to be placed...... Enjoy.
