Report - Bootle tunnel, Liverpool, June 2016

Thanks for posting - those pictures are really good,especially the ones around the tunnel gap where the bridge is. The extra light makes the tunnels a lot brighter - they even look bigger than normal roundish railway tunnels as the walls are high vertical ones! As others have said,that shaft of light is the icing on the photographic cake ; ..

Hi guys

I know you probably will think im soft or something but... Do you know if these tunnels link up at all with the live line going from Kirkdale to Ormskirk line near brewster Street and under Southport Road on bootle border with Kirkdale.

There is a cat stuck down an embankment and it's been there since Wednesday. Network rail are not being very helpful.

I can see in the photos taken from the top that there is an old railway line near the main track that leads out into where the cat is. I'd like to be able to access the area obviously without getting stressed.

Here's the link to the article on the echo about the cat

Thanks in advance.
