Bit of an obscure topic but does anyone know what work was carried out as part of the major refurb of Arley Tunnel (between Bham New Street and Nuneaton) in the mid 1990s?
I am not even sure of the exact year but I lived close at the time and the whole railway was closed at various times for quite a while.
I woke up a few times to hear the sound of what I can only describe as an air-raid siren and then a train would travel up the line.
I saw some footage through the tunnel recently and althought it was dark (obviously) the whole thing including the floor appeared to be lined with concrete.
