| Outside the main tunnel is a short and wide extension which is substantially filled in. the remnants form part of the carpark. |
There are still remnants of the wall fixtures including this insulator. It is unbranded, nothing of value would survive this long in Liverpool! |
Stood above the main tunnel, this is the view to the 'extension' across the carpark. This is the infilled cutting. Turn around and... |
This is the main tunnel. Easy access for such a long tunnel, especially as the other end open out on the live Network Rail lines. |
The tunnel is infilled to about 10 feet from the apex for the first 100yds or so. |
The infill material is obviously a good growing medium for fungi. Bring yer own frying pan! |

| The tunnel is fairly dry except for short sections of shallow standing water. |
Stalactite over a refuge. |
The 'gap' between Waterloo and Victoria. There is a bridge over it There used to be a short siding on each side in this restricted space. |
There are store rooms on both sides in the gap. |
Looking back to Waterloo from under the bridge in the gap. |
Another store room with what could have been a pedestal for a shunt signal stashed away. |

| The airshafts show just how shallow these tunnels are. |
Another view from the east end of Waterloo showing the gap and the west portal of Victoria. |
Pltelayers hut in the 'gap'. This appears to be on the line of one of the sidings. If so it must have been built after the sidings were abandoned. |
In the land of the snowmen, mp3 players are not necessary; you just put the record on your head. This one is boogying to Bowie with his ear muff headphones. |
Part of the tunnel is circular in profile. |
A final view on the way back looking towards the carpark at the west end. (Dodgy quality again - sorry!!) |
