Alfreton Tunnels
Having travelled along the A38 heading to and from the Midlands frequently over many years it came as a big surprise, having pulled off into a lay-by in rain to check trailer and livestock whilst returning north, to be confronted by a tunnel airshaft sitting almost alongside us only some 4-5 metres away. This is believed to be over the up side bore of the Alfreton Tunnels on the Erewash Valley line from Clay Cross to Trent Junction
Location: Alfreton Tunnels
Original line: Pye Bridge to Clay Cross (Midland Railway)
