Farnworth Tunnel

There's something about the old small bore tunnel at Farnworth, alongside the new double track bore, that reminds me of the Rev. Awdry story about 'Henry' being bricked up in a tunnel. This is the view towards Manchester, from the end of the platform at Farnworth station, on 7th September 2022. See image 50273 from before electrification and tunnel widening work started.
