Will the Act of Parliment, required for closure, now be sought?

GNR has to be involved in any/all talks on it's closure.

 

[classic33]

Has there been a collapse, or if natural will it now put an end to it.

Earthquake/seismic event recorded yesterday less than half a mile away.

 

[PMarkey]

Nothing mentioned locally or felt as the tunnel is only 700 odd feet away from my house

How far from Shibden Head, roughly?

Old mine workings were blamed for a previous one.

 

[PMarkey]

According to Google maps I'm a mile away from the epicentre as the crow flies though the top of Shibden head is just down the road from me . Old mine workings is a possibility I suppose though not sure if there are any that side of the valley , there are a couple of abandoned stone quarries that side if memory serves me .

Wonder if this latest incident will be the one that gets the project stopped.

 

[PMarkey]

Hard to tell really as the event appears to have gone unnoticed locally (on Farcebook at least)

Well, they certainly seem set on finding some reason, don't they?

With what's due next month, and a marginal seat, Lynch may be willing to listen to those in the area on this.

Council on this side are trying, not too hard, to be seen as cycling proactive so she may be able to apply some pressure to them, on access.

A good time to fill in a tunnel?

Bradford Telegraph and Argus: Queensbury Tunnel Society claim 'non-essential' work is being carried out - despite lockdown.

There's summat odd going on in there.

Up today and got moved on by two who came out. One of whom stayed out watching me as I made my way back. He was on the radio the whole time.

They've damaged the tunnel entrance and have CCTV installed on the outside. Impossible to read the signage for the CCTV, making it's use illegal

If work only resumed yesterday, who was in there last week?

Maybe they've been under lockdown in there..?
