Exploring the 2 Mile Long Tunnel Below Liverpool City Centre

Liverpool's railway history is some of the oldest in the world, most of it hidden below the surface. Just 19 years after the opening of the Liverpool-Manchester Railway, the longest tunnel yet was cut in 1849. It took goods and later passengers from Edge Hill Station down to Waterloo and Victoria Docks, to the north of the city, and it was an unbelievable 2 miles in length. Later a small box cutting was added part-way along that effectively made two separate tunnels. Today, all of it is disused and just waiting to be reborn.
