The voting for the People’s £50 Million Lottery Giveaway opens online on Monday (26th November), with the Connect2 set of 79 walking and cycling projects in with a good chance. One of these 79 is the Two Tunnels Greenway proposal, extending the first Sustrans route (I think) near Bath using an old railway tunnel.
I’d previously thought that the suggestion of a walking and cycling route through the disused rail tunnel, parallel to the current one between Great Malvern and Colwall, a bit dubious, even if the money for it could be found. However, the Two Tunnels website says “Reusing long rail tunnels can seem alarming to the uninitiated, but experiences worldwide are most positive”. Worth having a poke around this site if you are interested in the idea.
