Patrick Dickinson Good torch and *SPARE* ... wise words indeed ... Like everyone else, gobsmacked, never knew this was there, lived in Sheffield all my life (OK, that bit is not true, only 1978 - 84), cracking piece of video, top marks to a classical hand-tooled Yorkshire madman of the first water...

@@patrickdickinson6492 I thoroughly enjoyed this as the desert after my dinner and then just as the music started at the end , a storm was brewing here , becoming very dark with Thunder adding to the whole sense of drama after i had been thinking these tunnels really need to be in a movie , when i realized there had already been a movie with a tunnel system in it ... and a famous one at that : The Third Man with Orson Welles , Trevor Howard , and Joseph Cotten , under the city of Vienna . But Megatron is altogether something else ( ! ) overwhelming and really does deserve be in a movie .... a good one , like The Third Man . Thank you so much for this exploration ...i'm under the impression you were alone ... is this true ? Anything could have happened down there ; very brave you are and i just discovered your channel ; subbed now , of course .

Absolutely wonderful Patrick. I have only recently been made aware of your exploits via the Sheffield "Star". I am now a big fan of yours.I have some photos of when the top of the tunnels were lifted off platform 5 at the station. This was sometime in the early 80's I was a guard on the railway at the time. Keep them coming Patrick you are a star.

Hi from new Zealand, nice to hear fro you. Definitely built to last, and amazing construction. There is a 1940/50,s culverts made out of concrete in Sheffield that recently collapsed, I think this Megatron culvert will be here for many years yet. Thanks for watching Pat

I've been in the Megatron four times in recent years. Its a good trip if you start in the Porter Brook around Endcliffe Park or Frog Walk at the entrance to the general cemetery as there are loads of different underground sections. You don't need a boat in the Megatron. We swam along it, to the weir, then slid down the weir and swam out into the River Don.It's only knee deep at the bottom of the weir, you wont go under the water although we didn't know that when we first did it. Cheers, Simon.

Hi Simon yes I,be walked the full length of the Porter through all the culverts, I would not fancy wading through the deep part of Megatron when I went down in my dinghy it was 5 foot deep most of the way. At the bottom of the Weir there is a concrete shelf stuck out for 4 foot that's the shollow bit of water you mention after that it's 5 to 6 foot deep and when you cross the Don it gets to 8 foot in places. Still a great place to explore, all the best Pat

Hi Patrick. We had wetsuits and it was fine. Me and my friend Neill did the whole Megatron swim, down the weir and out and across the Don in February this year when there was snow on the ground. We've had many years of caving experience. We're very used to being cold and wet. Good videos, thank you. Simon.

Thanks Simon, amazing what is under Sheffield's streets. My Dickinson side of the family were in Broadfield Park Road area in the 1870,s to 1930,s, on the banks of the Sheaf, all cutlers, so I do have historical connections with the river flowing through Megatron. They probably enjoyed a pint in the Broadfield and Crown pubs as well, as I do 100 years later, we have not moved far, thanks Pat

Hi Peter, now you,be got me thinking, go to several dance's, know most people's first names but not surnames. The Foxtrot has to be the clue, tried a new Foxtrot move out at a dance at Doreen's on Saturday night did,nt do it very well, but I think it's got to be City limit,s on Monday? I maybe wrong but I ,am really intrigued, hopefully all will be revealed, thanks for watching, all the best Pat
