Geocache Description:

One more for the SideTracked series. 

This is a new series of caches across the Isle of Sheppey at the train stations past and present!


The Isle of Sheppey has two train stations but there used to also be a line crossing the island all the way to Leysdown. 

The SideTracked series on the Isle of Sheppey are…

Queenborough

Sheerness

plus REALLY SideTracked ones…

Queenborough Pier

Sheerness East

East Minster-On-Sea

Minster-On-Sea

Brambledown Halt

Eastchurch

Harty Road Halt

Leysdown

will you be able to find them all?

The Sheppey Light Railway had 5 stations and two halts. Nearly all traces of the line have been removed from existence. However there are some tell tale signs across the series from fence design, gate posts and rail crossings, but here the house that stands oppposite the cache is, I believe, the station building. From pictures online this house is the station, and the only one left standing. Most of the others have been replaced by newer housing across the island.
