Don't let that plonker who took the longbridge tunnel mini near it! Might try and sell it and fail

LOL, He may turn down 20K for it!!!

The Dingle area of Liverpool is far higher than the docks along the river, so the train wouldn't climb the gradient needed to get to the station had it been above ground.  There are obviously alternative routes that the train could have taken but these route would have taken the line away from the docks, and the commuting dockers were the main users.
 
The picture below shows the railway entering the tunnel.


 


The picture below is the tunnel entrance today, the garage is at the other end of the tunnel. The tunnel is unique being the only tunnel on an overhead railway that doesn't require the rails to drop down into it.

What ever happened to the tunnel? Last I heard it had been repaired as the people living in the houses above were aloud back home, I'm guessing the garage in the tunnel is no more?

Me too! I'm in Hertfordshire as well and love hearing these stories, but I never hear of anything local.
