A quick trip down to the Old Dalby test track to take a walk through the Stanton Tunnel. At 1332 yards long this made a pleasant Sunday afternoon walk.
There is not alot of history specific to this particular tunnel, but the following link gives a detailed history of the 13.4mile Old Dalby test track that this tunnel is part of. http://www.old-dalby.com

Enjoy :)

Thanks guys...... I must say that I have no idea why this tunnel has a TV aerial on it????? Anyone????? :mrgreen:
 
It'll be a UHF data link to somewhere, sending data from sensors in the tunnel perhaps or maybe relaying it from somewhere the other side of the tunnel. You often see them on unmanned water pumping stations and such like. It just allows a central station to remotely monitor something.
