Nice one Harki,
It was James73 who came across your site with the pics of the cleared tunnels and thought it would be a good idea to have a look to see if you could still gain access.

Thanks for the pics, without them we would have not have known about the work taking place.

Cheers,
Smartalex.

Western Portal of Kelvindale Tunnel

Looking into the Tunnel

Leakage from Tunnel Wall

The Tunnel was made entirely of brick... bricks being made in Garscube

Anyone want to hazard a guess at what this is??? Looks like a jacket underneath it....

Iron Ore this time....

Eastern Portal still open... for some reason i thought this was gone!!

Looking back into the Tunnel.... the colours of thise bricks where amazing!!

And again, those colours.....

Black and White shot

Back at the beginning safe and sound.... thank goodness, i got over those fears, the noises, the drips etc

Throat of Bridgeton Central... the digger and dumper truck used in clearance at the gate.

Negative View looking into Tunnel Mouth towards Gallowgate.

Looking back towards Bridgeton with the platforms of Gallowgate Central Stn in the forefront.

Ladywell Tunnel:-The NBR Glasgow City and District Railway is carried above on the rather rusty looking bridge above.

And again... These pics were taken on 29th March

Sorry for being a total retard here, but where exactly is the Kelvindale tunnel located? I can't place it.
