Geocache Description:




Clifton Down railway station is, unsurprisingly, in the Clifton area of Bristol. It is the main station for Bristol Zoo, Whiteladies Road and the open space for which the station gets its name- The Downs - which the train line passes under to reach the next station, Sea Mills.

Every train station from Montpelier onwards to Severn Beach is a single track/platform station, except Clifton Down, which has two platforms and tracks. This means it is often the passing place for trains travelling in each direction- so it is not unusual to see trains carefully-timed so that they both appear at the station from different directions at the same time! That way, the track is clear for their onward journeys.
Train services at Clifton Down are strategically timed so that both trains- heading in opposite directions on single tracks- arrive at the station at the same time.

You won’t find the cache, or anything to do with it, at the listed coordinates. You will need to solve the puzzle below to figure out where the cache is!

A new station has opened on the line - Portway Park and Ride; so new calculation required:
Assume N51° 2?.??? W002° 3?.???


Shirehampton; (St. Andrew's Road - Stapleton Road ); Clifton Down; Montpelier

Sea Mills; (Clifton Down + Stapleton Road); Avonmouth; (Redland + Lawrence Hill)
