Geocache Description:

This small series of caches will take you down part of the route of the old Fawley Branch Line, all caches have parking close by. Please be careful of the busy roads and the railway line that is still in occasional use.

 

The Fawley Branch Line, also known as the Waterside Line is a standard gauge railway line to Fawley, in the English county of Hampshire. It is on the opposite side of Southampton Water from the city of Southampton itself, in an area known as Waterside. For forty years a passenger service operated, but this was withdrawn under the Beeching Axe in 1966 and now, with the exception of the occasional enthusiasts' rail tour, the line serves the freight needs of Fawley Refinery and Marchwood Military Port.

The photo below shows Marchwood station in 1975, now deserted.

You are looking for a small container containing a logbook & pencil, there is no room for swaps and trackables.  Please try to ensure you screw the container up tight and replace it so it is least visible to passersby.

We have given this one a slightly higher difficulty rating due to it being a very busy area with a lot of muggle activity at certain times of the day, please make sure you tuck the container out of sight once you are finished.
