They're on a 999 year lease: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/mai...2008/04/10/scl.... It would appear there are three double track tunnels: http://prints.leics.gov.uk/low.php?xp=media&xm=670835 One is obviously still in use, and the other two must have been for when there was a big freight operation at Marylebone. I can't see any use for them now - you'd need more platforms at Marylebone and a way of four tracking at least to Neasden. U Another picture of the three tunnels at Lords being built is athttp://www.railwayarchive.org.uk/map/getobjectmap.php?rnum=L1341&mapi... and at St Johns Woodhttp://www.railwayarchive.org.uk/map/getobjectmap.php?rnum=L1637&mapi... and another at the Canfield Place end is athttp://www.railwayarchive.org.uk/map/getobjectmap.php?rnum=L1509&mapi... Both these tunnel entrances still exist but the right hand one is bricked up. Anyone with a passing interest in the GCR ought to know about this website - well worth exploring. Guy Gorton I agree, that is a great site. Adrian |
