About SideTracked

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. It is hoped this idea will spread across the< country in the same way as the MMs….but if hiding one PLEASE BE SENSIBLE and remember that in this day and age, public transport is under greater scrutiny than ever before, so, although these caches should quick and easy grabs, PLEASE don’t place a Cache where it could cause alarm!!!

Sidetracked - Steam's Up - Nappers Halt

The line was opened by the Buckfastleigh, Totnes and South Devon Railway on 1 May 1872. The railway was amalgamated into the Great Western Railway in 1897 and this in turn was nationalised into British Railways on 1 January 1948.
The station closed to passengers in November 1958 although goods traffic on the line continued until 7 September 1962.
It was re-opened by the Dart Valley Railway, a heritage railway, on 5 April 1969. The South Devon Railway Trust took over the running of the line on 1 January 1991.
This 'station' has got to be the smallest I've seen - see http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~owend/I/R/stnpages/nappershalt.html for a webpage devoted to this 'station'

The container is a soda bottle preform - see http://luap.tk/preform.jpg
