Celebrate 200 Years of Railway History!
In 1825, the Stockton & Darlington Railway opened the world’s first passenger railway station on Tuesday 27th September — a milestone that transformed travel forever.
Steam locomotives carried passengers and goods at unprecedented speed, sparking a transport revolution that connected towns, boosted industry, and shaped modern Britain.
This special SideTracked Railway 200 event is part of a nationwide celebration.
All finds and hides from this event count towards your SideTracked statistics, and a unique profile badge will be created especially for this event.
Whether your chosen location is old, disused, miniature, or still bustling today, it’s part of a railway story that’s been 200 years in the making.
This location is a perfect acknowledgement of 200 years of train travel.
So come along and celebrate 200 years of train travel!
