| The west portal. |
There is a breeze block wall with huge vent pipes half way through the tunnel. |
The pipes are big enough to crawl through so take a ladder (I knew the wall was there but didn't know the pipes were so big or I would have taken one!) |
As you walk in from the west end the chainage reduces (i.e. '0' is at the east end). The wall is near the 47ch marker (i.e. about 46½ch). |

| Airshaft. |
The airshaft in relation to the west portal. |
The next airshaft is very wet. |
There is a constant stream of water. |

| Just above the west end is an airshaft. |
The approach to the east end. |
Closer. |
Inside the east portal. |

| Bit moist at this side so a draingae channel has been dug. |
Airshaft. |
The west end wall. I have heard talk that there is an Overhead Line Sub-Station in there. Anyone know? |
Pipes at ground level as well at this end. |

| Along the ground level pipes. |
Drainage pit in front of the wall. |
The wall at this end is beyond the 40ch marker (i.e. 40½ch). So whatever it is is about 6ch long (approx 121m). |
The wall showing the 40 chain mark. |
