The second bridge after the previous cache carries the main A6. It's not recommended but with agility people do access the line via the steep slope in the SE corner of the bridge. Our goal is further on.
On the far side of the bridge you will find the slope of the platform of the old Heversham station. It's quite long, nearly as far as you can see, and is becoming colonised by tress and plants. The bridge itself is a cannibalisation of the older railway bridge with new concrete beams added. A ramp leads up to the W side of the road which was the access for the platform. Now private, overgrown and leads to a unopenable gate. Heversham station is an interesting and forgotten piece of history.
It's worth continuing down to the last gate and a bit of a view before returning for the cache (ps. did we mention boots are a good idea?). Once found, then its time to wend our way back up the line, and things often look different on the return. Hope you enjoy your historic rail journey.
