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 Railway200 event at Evesham 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.

Evesham

When: Saturday 27th September, 10:30 - 11:00

It’s Railway200 and today is the 200th anniversary of that very first journey, so let's get together to celebrate! Come and join us at the station where the first SideTracked cache was placed on 10th August 2007! 
Come along for as long or as short a time you'd like to, if you'd like to join us, whether you are a new cacher or more seasoned, please do.
