About Side Tracked
We have Motorway Mayhem. We have A-Road Anarchy (cos there
aren’t many Motorways in Wales!). But what about public transport
users? SideTracked Caches are intended to provide quick
Cache-and-dashes at Train Stations.
Thanks to Vagabond Heart for his permission to re-set a cache at
Four Oaks Station using his original name.
As with Shenstone further along the tracks, Four Oaks is a good
example of a station that has largely escaped the penchant for
blandly designed rebuilds that swept the cross-city line from the
mid-1970s onwards.
Opened in 1884, the former LNWR (later LMS) station has, bar the
electrification, retained a traditional feel to its appearance.
As of 9 July 2009 the cache is now a magnetic nano with a new
log book.
