Yes, the route in mapped out on normal A-Z's.
It's pretty much as to be expected, in a straight line under Dale street and Brunswick Street. A section of Dale street actually caved in during construction.
Dale St,then 'soft' left at Moorfields,past the North John St vent.Then down Brunswick St,then a slight left at the end of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Building..
If you haven't been,go on the Mersey Tunnel Tour.Well worth the admission.To book 0151 236 8602 ext 206 or 214
It hasn't changed at all since it was built to my knowledge. The inset is prior to 1934...

Click on "Street View" and it will even take you down into the tunnel.
Thanks for the interesting posts folks.
They "claimed" that Manchester Dock and Chester Basin were subsiding because of the tunnel excavations, so filled them in.Quote:
