Geocache Description:

Partly inspired by  a small series of caches on the Gold Coast, second in my series. Not sure how many tenuous links to songs I can manage.


A cache placed at a location that has had a cache placed in the past, now in a slightly different place.
The cache title will be apparent when you get there. The song is not one of my all time favourites, but is quite catchy. Watch/listen on Youtube if you don't know it.
"Waiting for a Train" is the ninth single by the Australian synthpop group Flash and the Pan. It is taken from the album Headlines and became their most successful single, reaching number 7 on the UK Singles Chart in 1983. The song features the vocals of Stevie Wright, the former bandmate of Harry Vanda and George Young from their time in The Easybeats.
 
When re-placed the cache contained logstrip only so BYOP. This is a high muggle area so please search, and re-hide stealthily to prevent it getting muggled.
Hope you enjoy your visit and happy hunting.

Little bit about Blenheim Railway station.
The early railways in New Zealand—as in most young countries—were designed to rapidly open up the country at a minimum cost.2

The 20 mile line between Blenheim and Picton was opened on November 18, 1875. The line stopped about 1.5 miles (2 km) short of Blenheim until it was extended in 1880/1. In its first financial year, when the line was open for seven and a half months, it carried 15,400 passengers, 6300 tons of goods and 300 head of livestock.
