Fantastic footage, priceless infact. The music gives a special atmosphere. Quality not to be found on any mainstream tv. So happy the tracks are going back in, the tunnel and viaduct were built to last, honor those that built it by getting those rails back down. 👍👍😊

The refuges in Dudley tunnel were known as 'Donkey Holes', where track workers would escape oncoming trains. I recall about 1967, when I was a kid, there was a derailment in the tunnel and one such worker managed to duck into a donkey hole to avoid being pinned against the tunnel wall by the overturning train. I still recall the newspaper headline 'RAILMAN SPLIT SECOND FROM DEATH'

I worked some of the cable laying trains over there. We had a few days of workings at Bescot laying the cable for Mercury Communications. The cable was laid on the stourbridge bound side ductings. The local schools were shown the cables and told it was worthless so it wouldn't be stolen after. No idea if it's still in there. We were told the line would only be mothballed. Never worked over it again. Very sad.

The music I take it is Vangelis (Bladerunner Period 1982 I think) but going thru the tunnel with you was amazing. Here in Belfast we are not privy to such sites. Anyway, the wonderful colours of White, Cream, Yellow, Orange and Reds was fantastic and amazing to see. All the intermingled hues blew me away and the water deposited particles forming there landscapes on the walls and floor of the tunnel. Marvellous stuff and stunning to see. Now were is my paint brush to get a model railway tunnel entrance looking this creepy and spacey. Thank you for the trip into another universe and a joy to watch.

I remember as a kid visiting Dudley zoo and wondering why there were no trains using the station anymore next to it. I've always wanted to explore the tunnel so thanks for making this video! There's so many massive structures like this abandoned and left to rot thanks to the short sighted Beeching cuts. It is good to see some of these cuts being reversed now, but not so good to see railways that should be reopened being replaced with trams that are slow, uncomfortable, often over crowded and stop literally every minute at a station. Trams increase journey times, they won't be enough to tempt people out of their cars.

I was a Student in Coventry 1978 onwards so missed the Snow Hill Station but visited it as a Car Park. The tunnels were open but a bit dark for going on a look through. So it looks like great news on the track going back. Numbers of Cars going up and to extend the local transport we need more track. The Old Worse and Worse it was called! Names for most things on the Railways and the Guys back then. Man enough to take it. Late Never Early Railway. And Slow and Dirty. D&L.

The tunnel is being used as a test track for a concept 'Very Light Rail'. Interestingly, it has nothing to do with the Midland Metro extension that is also being built in the area, as the routing of the Metro will take trams up to street level via castle hill before descending to the routing of the original line via flood street (to allow connections with local bus services at the proposed Bus Station interchange).

Thanks, Dave for this. Since the 1990s, I've walked over the viaduct and through the tunnel three or four times. Once, for the first time in the 1990s, with 2 or 3 Brum FoE people, escorted by two men from Network Rail (or whatever it was called then) but, since then, FoE has not helped me (apart from Ros who does agree with us). As with Railfuture and SLUG, FoE stills prefers the tram extensions on roads and railways instead of giving top priority to railway restorations, not yet obliterated, in the Black Country and Brum. Can we ask the guy on the video to help us get the remaining 50 Kms opened for commuter/regional trains from St'bge Jct to Canal Street tram stop at Hart's Hill and, from Wednesbury to Burton on Trent? Do you know who he is? I will watch the rest of the video later. The whole 120 Kms can still be finished - now, as a world first, train-tram-train railway, especially as the crossings over all motorways, roads and canals are in place.
