Such a task would mean no trains to the Peak District for a considerable amount of time. Do we really want more disruption amid the chronic strike action? Its not much of a gradient . I think it was one of the longest land tunnels when first built . Walked through it many times . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to work on the Hope Valley line . It was walked 2/3 times a week to check it . I used to volunteer to do it ( fed up of being sat in cabin) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
