In message , Nick Pedley writes The fake walls only seem to stretch back to the point where the ramp starts (about 30m), I think the rest of the tunnel was fully used. Personally I'd like to see inside the section under the bridge where the tram tunnel originally came out, there's a massive doorway there these days (with a doorbell!). I have (although this was 10+ years ago) been inside that end but not very far! One day I was walking along the Embankment and spotted that the door was open. Curiosity managed to get the better of me and I hesitantly peered inside. Apart from a couple of council vehicles, there was nothing (and appeared to be no-one) inside. The tracks had gone but the conduit remained and stretched off into the gloom. I couldn't see very far ahead and - realising that I really shouldn't have been there, I quickly ducked back out again. In the years since, I've seen the door open again a couple of times and the conduit was still there. But had I not taken that closer look that time I don't think I'd have realised what it was (or else I'd have assumed that it was one of the running rails). I've seen inside as well once years ago when I passed by and the door was open. I seem to remember there was a roadsweeping vehicle in there. I presume that the ceiling comes down to meet the access ramp of the underpass somewhere up ahead. I've seen a picture taken inside since the tram line shut. It was on the web but I can't remember where. |
