they don't seem to have any of this BR properties on their website (lsh.co.uk, crappy search), but could always make enquiries. tell them it's for a fledgling film company... ;-)

Duncan I'm liking your thinking alot here!

"Hidden Productions" could yet again be great cover.

(yeah, yeah, i know we haven't actually used it yet..but we will!)

Lets face it, they are pretty unlikely to get any bids?

How cool would owning a tunnel be!!!

Until the bill comes in for a new DPC and total relining of the tunnel due to water ingress and years of neglect by BRB Ouch!. Aye! they'll only be too glad to sell off an old tunnel. They still have a responsibilty to maintain them even though they are redundant so they'll be glad to off load the repair bills. Last years work in the Gibson Street/Botanics tunnels springs to mind as an example.
If the Lottery ever came up I'd bag the Botanics and have the Station building re-built to it's orginal spec

having looked at the site, you can only buy the ones with "for slae" next to them. they list all the properties, but you cannae buy them until they decide to sell them, and even then, the small print states that most things are kept aside for local councils and rail companies incase they want to re-open the route. but as Pgcc said, they may be happy to off oad one or two due to repair bill costs.

Botanic Gardens Tunnel/Great Western Rd Tunnel G-GCL-256-1

Tunnel from Crathie Drive to Crow Road G-GCL-445-1
Tunnel underneath Clydeside Expressway at Partick G-GN-60-2

Wonder how they plan on selling this property when access is so difficult if not impossible.

Crathie Court. Large block of Council flats. Still there.

From here

"Crathie Court built in 1952, but its art deco features show pre-war design influence in the projecting balconies and lines of porthole windows. Set in well maintained grounds, the building was designed as 88 flats for single people at a time when almost all housing was for the standard nuclear family"
