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
be quick and easy grabs, PLEASE don’t place a Cache where it
could cause alarm!!!

About Kings Norton Station
Kings Norton is an important station as it forms the junction of
the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway line with the Birmingham West
Suburban line. Nowadays the Birmingham West Suburban line is the
most important line as it is electrified as part of Centro's "Cross
City" line and carries all local passenger traffic. Kings Norton
railway station serving the Kings Norton area of Birmingham,
England. It lies on Birmingham Cross-City Line from Redditch
through Birmingham New Street to Lichfield.
It has two platforms, with a disused island platform in the centre
of the four-track lines. The station was originally converted to
four platforms in the 1930s to provide an 'overflow' station for
Birmingham New Street, although now only the outer platforms are
used.
The station lies between Kings Norton and Cotteridge, on Station
Road off Pershore Road South, the A441, which runs between
Birmingham and Redditch. An extension car park provides a Park and
Ride facility. Kings Norton Station is equipped with real-time
information departure boards which were installed in 2006 by
Central Trains.
