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.


PLEASE be aware this is a HIGH muggle area and the cache is of the urban camoflage type hence the rating.  Please replace as found and try not to draw attention to yourself.  There is ample parking next to the cache and it is served by public footpaths so is wheelchair and pushchair accessible.  There is no need to enter the platform or deviate from the public path.

Take a moment to look at the links below and compare the view now with the past photographs - changed hasn't it!!

Mill Hill railway station serves the Blackburn suburb of Mill Hill, 2 km (1¼ miles) west of Blackburn railway station. It is a island platformed suburban station managed by Northern Rail.

There are numerous history blogs depicting local life in and around Blackburn.  Click here to see one that has images of Mill Hill station as it was in 1910.  Far cry from todays unmanned platform!
