Top link. Ta.
I think I approve on the whole..
If yunki Jr was to announce that this was his hobby I'm sure that I would harbour a small glow of pride at his adventuring..
Quite a boring spectator sport though.. unless you like that sort of thing I guess..
Great link.
I'd read that the London underground was off-limits to the urban ex crowd - dangerous and risk of getting treated like Osama Bin Laden if caught. Guess this is more a subsidiary of it.
Wow.
amazing!
Not the most interesting photos from these explorations that I've seen, but what an adventure!
Construction was suspended due to the outbreak of WW1...
The reason for this is most tunnelers working on the underground ended up in France digging tunnels under the German trenches.
That is all I have to add.
I did a lot of work in BT's tunnels in London, could regularly hear the RM trains running past the doors. Also doors into the Kings tunnel network. Great place to explore. Although in BT's the control room knew where you were at all times through listening kit and cameras.
Excellent stuff! I've seen the Mail Rail in action. T'was a few years ago mind.
This thread is quite old now so a lot of the pictures are gone but still an interesting read, particularly the insights from people that used to work in some of the tunnels

Awesome - I wanted to visit the old underground tramway in Kingsway, there was an art exhibition there a year or two ago.
Similar, in a French kind of way:

@BoardingBob - I've been down the KelvinBridge / Botanics line. Quite a cool deserted station at Byre's Road Cross.
@BoardingBob - when I first found the Hidden Glasgow website I sent a link to a guy I had been working with - he'd been talking about going to find Cardross Seminary. I sent him the URL typed from memory in an email titled "this'll be right up your alley" and in mistyping the URL had inadvertently sent him a link to another 'Hidden Glasgow' - a transvestite dogging forum. 😀
The tunnels that really rock are the ones behind Invergordon on the Cromarty Firth - the whole mountain was secretly hollowed out in the first world war to store fuel for ship sheltering in the firth. The fuel stores are the size and shape of cathedrals. The people who dug them pretty much lived underground themselves as the work was so secret - so amongst other things theres a cinema hollowed out of the rock as well.
