Report - Haddon railway tunnel in Derbyshire, October 2018

[The Kwan]

Thanks for the good info Farmer Ned, I guess that Buxton is never likely to happen any time soon.

buxton would be out but bakewell would be feasable dependant on cost

No entry to the tunnel anymore. Haddon Estates have closed/blocked both entry points. Also northern portal trackbed flooded, now looks like a canal.
Also remember it's all private land.

I'm not suggesting people should but it wouldn't be difficult to throw a rope down the cutting

There's no probs gaining the cutting, it's getting into the tunnel it's self now that it's locked and blocked.

There's a cutting in the middle of the tunnel which can't be blocked
