    Default arch

    If you go to the Chatsworth Street Housing estate you can look down through railings and see where the arch was. I grew up in Myrtle Gardens on Crown Street and used to play in the old railway yards. The steps have all but disappeared. There is no plaque there or anything saying how important this railway was and thats a huge shame.

    You're asking where my hole is?

    Exactly where Scanner says it is...but we're going back a good few years so I can't give you precise directions now hehe

    Scanner - best place to get there these days? Has it changed?

    Mark, this link is excellent and contains many images from trackside including inside some of the tunnels, cheers.

    Default best place

    The only place to view the site now, is go to tunnel Road and you will see a church ( youth club called the Action nowadays) there are railings there which you can look down at the site. A good site to go see one of the tunnels is Crown Street itself. There is a ventilation funnel (Max showed a picture of it on this thread) go up the hill and you will come to a street called Queensland Street cross it, and there is a cut out in the hill there is a tunnel (that leads to were the arch was). Great place to take some pics

    Scanner, on the other side, where Max snapped the vent tunnel is the start of the line, there are buffers there and you can get to it from the park, or am I thinking of another tunnel?

    You're right Kev. If you head down Overbury Street, this actually crosses over the original Crown Street tunnel. Have a nose at www.flashearth.com for Overbury Street (Edge Hill) and you'll find the line.
