Thanks Mate!!!

[@noelkotela]

It looks fun, but dangerous as well, not seeing a train in time is one thing, that can be rather easily avoided if you're cautios, however, there's a small chance, that the train can carry some debris, or anything else, which can be lethal at thats speed.

[@dreamaway2]

A unique video indeed. Be careful while filming tho, as the pressure change and shock waves can be painful.

[@jakewynn]

lol you can hear your keys when you run. I have the same issue.

[@RayLiehm]

Hey, what did that white sign on the left side of the tunnel entrance say?

[@LiftManAmer]

This is epic! I would like to do this and feel the adrenaline as the train approaches at high speeds! How long did it take you to cross to the other end of the tunnel?

[@Beno2-of1gi]

The tunnel is a kilometer long. Took about 25 minutes to walk it, as I am stopping at each alcove, and I have to wait for trains to pass.

[@RandomBusNerd]

Very interesting video, it's interesting to see the very different style of tunnel used here in comparison to the more rounded tunnels that we usually use, it's nice to see access walkways alongside

[@ahilltodieons]

Hey man, don't think anyone's seen this kinda stuff before. Pretty cool to see the lights like that on the tunnel walls. Just be careful, haha

Not many people upload tours of railway tunnels. And the few people who do make videos of tunnels are usually only interested in abandoned stations (and nothing else), or they are making cringey graffiti videos. I don't think I know of anyone else who explores active railway tunnels who is a train enthusiast and has a technical interest in railways and construction projects. Also there is legal implications if you do it in your own country, so its best to do it abroad. Have you seen my video of exploring the Paris Metro? kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4vKhoyDpM-tqpI Judging by the lack of graff, it seems like very few people have been in this tunnel (which is how I like it). A lot more people go in railways tunnels than you might think, but it is usually graffers, who often are the reason places get cameras and sensors, as they insist on having to paint every location they get in. Whats more annoying is that when entering through a vent shaft, they always have to tag up the shaft itself, which means that the railway workers know exactly what shaft people are entering through and seal it. I don't graff as I can't see the point.

I didn't know that the french trains ran on the left side of the tracks. Why is that so, if they drive their cars on the right?

[@Beno2-of1gi]

Whats even more weird is that their express trams drive on the left, and have to switch to the right when they go on street running section.

[@Trainman10715]

Because the early French railway lines were heavily influenced by the British railway system

[@juoig7799]

Be very careful as the TGVs can do up to 320 kmph or 200 mph, get run over by that and you're done!

[@still_guns]

This is a unique perspective but it's also bloody stupid. Don't ever do this again.

[@falafeladv]

ignore the hate bro, this is nice

[@BCrossing]

Don't listen to the NPCs, this is safely done and interesting. Good stuff

@@legitscoper3259as a guard working in the south west who had to undergo PTS training and examination along with additional line block / em call / train protection training, I can fully echo your sentiment. I think the biggest problem here that hasn’t been addressed in the comments is how if this careless man was struck and killed by a train, the mental health consequences for the staff, namely the driver and cleanup crew / emergency services involved is immense and to flippantly disregard their feelings is an extreme display of selfishness.
