I had been wanting to visit this tunnel for quite some time having been to nearly all of the others that Glasgow has to offer and in June I got the chance.

The tunnel is approx 950 yards long and stretches under Kelvingrove Park from Kelvinbridge to Exhibition Centre where it meets the live line.


The northern portal which lies under Gibson Street. When I visited the tunnel had an eerie mist which stopped you from seeing more than a few feet in front of you and also hampered the photographs

Good thing I had visited a few days before when the tunnel was completely clear then. On the left you should be able to see an old wooden wall box. If anyone knows its use I;d like to know myself

Someone had made themselves comfy down here recently. These were right down the other end complete with disposable BBQs

One of my favourite things about tunnels is the self portrait shots you can get from them

Once we got to the end of the first tunnel the recent weather stopped us from getting any further.

The water level would quickly engulf a standard pair of wellies and I don't own waders :cry:

Slightly disappointed we never saw the old stage or "VIP area" that was once photographed down here unless its in the next tunnel however that appears to be a very short one which runs directly onto the live line.

Thanks for looking :)
