Not sure what made me think of this....
On Network Rail's tracks, are there any junctions located in tunnels?

Isn't there one somewhere on the approaches to Euston?
Slightly OT, I seem to recall that there is a junction in a road tunnel - this being in the Mersey Tunnel - which is probably unique.
Whichever tunnel the Strat*gic Res*rve has been moved to now must have a junction?
More seriously doesn’t the new Kings Cross layout add more junctions than now within the tunnels, some of which are well before the station?
I was noting that the current works provide a load more, ie in all 3 Gasworks Tunnels, and additionally one in the Copenhagen fast.At King's Cross, the facing crossover to access the North London Line incline / HS1 connection is located within the Slow Line bore of Copenhagen Tunnel.
Gasworks tunnel does not, IIRC, have any S&C located within either bore.
and nearby there's the underground roundabout at Canary Wharf.Also OT, but there’s technically one in the Limehouse Link in East London.
Definitely pointwork within the tunnel for accessing the branch from platforms 1 & 4, but the named junction (Springwood) is beyond, sandwiched between two tunnels on the mainline.The Barnsley line at Huddersfield??
There’s an abandoned junction in the Eastbound tunnel between Partick and Exhibition Centre that used to lead to Kelvinbridge and the Botanic Gardens. This was the route the water took when the Kelvin flooded at Kelvinbridge and left the whole low level line and two 314s almost totally submerged.
