    i know of a few, i'm wanting a location to do some filming and an old railway tunnel would be ace.

    There's a couple in Silkstone and one in Thurgoland but i'm sure with all the old railway lines in the area there's more.

    Lundwood / Ardsley Tunnel actually...

    Is a short stretch off the trans pennine trail going from stairfoot towards lundwood on a branch to the right. Last time I looked it was accessable from the Lundwood end.

    I've mailed you a google placemark

    Theres one between Hemsworth and Brierly on the old Barnsley to Hull line.

    We used to walk through it as kids. It was a mile long and ankle deep in red ochre but Im not sure if they blocked the entrances when they built the Hemsworth bypass.
