    It would take considerable resources. extend the double track to Rothley, build the museum. Realise all the potential when the gap is completed. all I’m suggesting. Without a brick being laid. Is to use the planning process. So that as property is developed along what was the alignment. That...

    Has anyone ever costed it? Worked out the detail? Do it over twenty years. Industrial land is a lot easier to develop. Leicester city certainly seem prepared to compulsory purchase.

    Great Central Railway News and Updates

    Up to Beaumont leys Ln seems possible. Bridge to replace. Expensive. Yet seem the GCR are very capable of it. From there into Leicester.

    Guessed so. Even planning safeguards to stop any further developments. Not sure why. But for the last two weeks all I’ve been able to think about it how one would go about rebuilding into Leicester.

    is access possible to unused passenger tunnels at euston

    ok, thats interesting. These areas must get opened up. i might source film crews who tend to work with bigger budgets how they approach things.

    is access possible to unused passenger tunnels at euston

    I know, i looked at that site before phoning the film office. The film office were not aware of those tunnels and they had worked there 20 years. Look under Euston and youll see the areas i mean. Thanks for the suggestion.

    is access possible to unused passenger tunnels at euston

    Thanks, I've been in touch with the film office and after some badgering they have accepted my proposal to ask for permission to put forward a proposal. The permission rests it seems on the station manager at Euston. Although strangely they were not aware that Euston has unused passenger...

    is access possible to unused passenger tunnels at euston

    Dear all, I have started a project documenting old torn posters on the tube system for a photographic project. This has been done mainly at Kings cross although they have now removed all of them as the station upgrade moves ahead. I have noticed on websites like subterranea Britannica and...
