The old Railway tunnels running under London road. Very easy access Just a bit wet and muddy :P

To the East of the city centre, the Glasgow Central Railway opened its extension from Bridgeton Cross to Carmyle in 1987. The National Library of Scotland maps of 1895 show all the area as being fields from about Parkhead outwards. Nevertheless this line was built in tunnel underneath the London Road from Bridgeton to Parkhead.

Yes, that was a bit odd - though there's not much in the Bridgeton Cross tunnels either.
