Geocache Description:


Part of the SideTracked series of caches.

Before Bluewater was built Greenhithe station was just a small village station. The only access between the entrance and the London-bound platform was via a subway with no disabled access.

The station was rebuilt in 2008 to improve accessibility for disabled users and upgrade the station and ticketing facilities. This was a pioneering modular design by Network Rail, with Mitcham Eastfields and Corby later constructed in the same way.

The subway has been replaced by a bridge with stairs and lift access at both ends. The new station entrance and booking hall lies directly between the bridge and the bus stop outside. Before the construction of this stop and its access road, buses had to stop some distance away downhill and passengers had to transfer via stairs and a footpath.


The cache cannot be found at these co-ords however consider travelling from Chicago to Port Huron.

Date of first (current) service: AB/CD/EFGH (dd/mm/yyyy).

The magnetic pot can be found at (puzzle tweaked 31/12/22 although original co-ords should be good enough to find it):

About SideTracked Caches

This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It is not designed to take you to a magical place with a breath taking view. It's a distraction for the weary traveller, but anyone else can go and find it too. SideTracked caches have become a nationwide series of caches for public transport users. They are intended to provide quick cache-and-dashes at or nearby railway stations. Caches can be found close to stations of the national rail network and well as heritage railways.
