I used to play in those tunnels as a kid. Locally they are known as 'windys.

I dont understand why there is a tunnel insread of to bridges, looks to me like a waste of labour and money.

Nice job. Perhaps you could present a business case to re-engineer the too narrow Somerhill tunnel south of Tonbridge, currently a bottleneck!

[@shiver_me_timbers]

I remember when it used to be a human that made a break through like that, sad times!
