Part of the SideTracked series of caches.
Farningham Road station was opened on 3rd December 1860 when the London, Chatham & Dover Railway started through-running trains between Canterbury and Victoria.
It is on the Chatham Main Line, serving the villages of Farningham, Sutton-at-Hone, Horton Kirby and South Darenth. It is 20 miles 41 chains (33.0 km) down the line from London Victoria and is situated between Swanley and Longfield.
The station and all trains that call are operated by Southeastern. The ticket office, on the 'up' (London-bound) side, is situated in the substantial station building. This is staffed only during part of the day.
The railway line was electrified as part of the Southern Railway's "Maidstone & Gillingham Electrification" scheme of July 1939. The station was previously named Farningham Road & Sutton-at-Hone.
A replacement for GC5H35F which used to be here. In fact this is where I originally placed that one until discovered it was blocked by a nearby puzzle! The cache can be found at the headline co-ords. Please leave the stamp in the container.
About SideTracked Caches
This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It is not designed to take you to a magical place with a breath taking view. It's a distraction for the weary traveller, but anyone else can go and find it too. SideTracked caches have become a nationwide series of caches for public transport users. They are intended to provide quick cache-and-dashes at or nearby railway stations. Caches can be found close to stations of the national rail network and well as heritage railways.
