I have always like the look of this one, got some good shots there. There is one in london like this that I would love to see, probably find out it runs under my office lol

That looks good fun mate. I love the Miley tunnel, the track running through does make it a bit different, and I love the bridges at the end. I can't imagine how difficult it would have been to push that shopping trolley to there. It's about half a mile on gravel.

S8 - The one in London that reminds me of is out East: The Connaught tunnel - from Custom House to Silvertown underneath Royal Victoria Dock where Millennuim Mills is.
