A pipeline is not a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods. A tunnel may be for foot or vehicular road traffic, for rail traffic, or for a canal. The central portions of a rapid transit network are usually in tunnel. Some tunnels are aqueducts to supply water for consumption or for hydroelectric stations or are sewers. Utility tunnels are used for routing steam, chilled water, electrical power or telecommunication cables, as well as connecting buildings for convenient passage of people and equipment.

  • 3.20 Down Manchester,” L.N.E.R
    No. 9 The “3.20 Down Manchester,” L.N.E.R. First published in the Meccano Magazine September 1927 It was something of a shock to the well-established London and North Western and Great Northern Railways when the Midland signified its intention of extending its ramified system southward to its own terminus in London and, as an earnest of the intention, ran a line through Bedford to Hitchin and monopolised a large share of the Great Northern main line into King’s Cross until its own St. Pancras Station was ready in 1868. Still more of a surprise, perhaps, was given to all these three companies when, nearly at the close of last century, in the face of determined opposition, the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway obtained Parliamentary powers to do exactly the same thing. Prior to the opening of the “London Extension” in 1899, the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire was an important system crossing the country from Cleethorpes and Grimsby in the east, through Sheffield and Barnsley to Manchester in the west, with a share in the large joint railway known as the Cheshire Lines Committee, and important interests in North Wales, its southernmost tentacle extended to Annesley, near Nottingham. The powers obtained enabled the M.S. and L. Company to prolong this line southward through Nottingham, Leicester and Rugby to a 1 junction with the London Metropolitan Railway, which had advanced northward to a point beyond Aylesbury. As a result of this vastly important development the provincial railway required a new name, and included in the Parliamentary powers was the authority to change its name from Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire to the imposing title of “Great Central” Railway.

  • Liverpool's Lost Railway Heritage
    Liverpool’s Lost Railway Heritage Angela Connelly and Michael Hebbert MARC Discussion Paper March 2011 Manchester Architecture Research Centre, University of Manchester http://www.sed.manchester.ac.uk/research/marc/ ISBN: 978-1-907120-99-2 2 Angela Connelly is a Research Assistant and Associate of MARC [email protected] Michael Hebbert is Professor of Town Planning, University of Manchester [email protected] © Manchester Architecture Research Centre (MARC) 3 Background This discussion paper is the result of a short research project undertaken by MARC in February 2011. Liverpool’s lost railway heritage had come up in one of our regular trawls amongst local governments and agencies in North West England for live topics suitable for project work or disser- tations. John Hinchliffe, World Heritage Officer of Liverpool City Council, spoke of neglected pre- 1850 railway heritage, some of it still unlisted, including tunnels that lead up from the north and south docks to Edge Hill on the escarpment behind the city centre. He asked if we could provide a description and assessment of this extraordinary heritage, and a summary of the views of the prin- cipal stakeholders. The topic was fascinating but beyond the scope of a student project or dissertation. Happily, an experienced MARC researcher had a month on her hands between submitting her PhD thesis and undergoing her oral examination. Angela Connelly’s PhD, funded by the Arts and Humanities Re- search Council in collaboration with the Methodist Church, is a study of the design and use of Meth- odist Central Halls, involving archival work, interviews, and architectural documentation in six cities - including Liverpool.

It is now five years since I wrote the first Baggin column, for the local Chronicle Series, telling the stories of Mid Cheshire as Bilbo Baggins cruised the local waterways. Over 100 columns and two books later, there are now more than 40,000 copies in circulation all over the world. It is amazing this railway exhibition came about because we moored the Bilbo Baggins on the River Weaver in Northwich and decided to walk up to the Salt Museum. On that fine sunny morning, I had a chance meeting with Andrea Peattie, Vale Royal’s Tourism Manager and Matt Wheeler, the Museum’s Curator, to discuss the Cheshire Best Kept Station Competition. As we discussed the history of the local railways and a few yards away a train thundered over the Northwich Viaduct, Matt said “Let’s have an Exhibition of Mid Cheshire Railways”.

  • Chronological List of the Railways of Lancashire, 1828-1939
    CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF THE RAILWAYS OF LANCASHIRE, 1828-1939 BY M. D. GREVILLE In addition to previously published data, I have consulted official and Rail­ way Clearing House records, local and railway press, and Bradshaw's Manual. There is often a bewildering discrepancy in dates in railway records, especially the older ones. Every effort has been made to establish the correct dates, and when this has not been possible from contemporary references, I have shown the ones which, taking all circumstances into consideration, seem the most likely to be accurate. Closing of lines and withdrawal of passenger services are noted only up to the outbreak of war in September 1939. The closing dates given are those for the last days on which trains ran. The railways have been grouped under the following headings and subheadings: 1 LONDON, MIDLAND & SCOTTISH RAILWAY A London & North Western Railway and Components B Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and Components C Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway and London & North Western Railway Joint Lines D Midland Railway and Components E Furness Railway and Components F Furness and Midland Joint Line G Knott End Railway 2 LONDON & NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY AND COMPONENTS 3 VARIOUS AND INTER-GROUP JOINT LINES A London & North Western Railway and Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway Joint Lines B Cheshire Lines Committee C Sheffield & Midland Joint Lines D Mersey Railway E Liverpool Overhead Railway 1.
