Welcome to Brighton station on SideTracked Railway200 week. A geocaching event at The Railway Bell
Friday, September 26th 2025, 4pm to 4.30pm
All invited to this geocaching meet just outside Brighton railway station to chat about all things geocaching and trains. Hoping for a warm dry afternoon to sit outside in front of the pub, if not, we'll be found inside. Brighton railway station opened on the 11th May 1840.
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 at Brighton is part of a nationwide celebration running from Wednesday 24th to Tuesday 30th September 2025. 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.
