Old Stations of Surrey & Sussex-Hartfield Multi-cache

This is the fifth cache in a series based around old stations. Most of the actual station buildings are now in private ownership and access to them is limited, however most can still be seen from roads and public footpaths.

Hartfield Station was opened on 1st October 1866 by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway and closed on 2nd January 1967.

The station and platform still remain and the station is now used as a private residence / commercial premises. The area in front of platform has now been filled in to form the garden of the house.

The old line now forms part of Forest Way which is very popular with dog walkers and cyclists. If you require more information on Forest Way it can be found here Forest Way

The picture above was taken from under the bridge looking east and if you look up at the bridge you can still see the soot from the trains which still remains after forty years.

The coordinates above will take you to the end of the old platform. There you will find a green sign with two words on it:-

Number of letters in the first word =A

Number of letters in the second word =B

The cache can be found at :-

The cache itself is a small clip top box which contains the usual trades and certificates for 1st 2nd and 3rd to find. The bonus cache for this series has now been archived so no need to collect the bonus numbers.
