A blurry shot just inside the Blaengwynfi end, shows water wall to wall. This end was always very wet due the proximity of a stream running almost overhead. You can see items of rubbish placed as stepping stones through the water which extended back about 25 yards.

A great shot of the Blaengwynfi end of the tunnel and the closed station. The stream mentioned above can be seen to the right. Also visible is the top of the air shaft just a few yards into the tunnels length.
