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.
