Hi,Ive been through Gibson St tunnel on many occasions.have you went through the tunnel to the botanic gardens!! If you are intrested in exploring any tunnels around glasgow let me know.Anonymous wrote:I've been researching the old railway tunnels around Glasgow a bit more recently. Strange to think that you can walk from the tunnle at Gibson street right underneath Kelvingrove park and eventually exit in the currently active tunnel at SECC.
Also, tracing the lines from the old Partick Central Station, I found a tunnel that passes under Yorkhill hospital, at the and of the car park for the transport museum. I've checked through some books (Along Great Western Road etc) but can't find any info on this part of the line. Does anyone know where this tunnel emerges? I'm considering buying a powerful torch!

It sez 'Sandyford' - So we've taken to calling it the 'Sandyford Tunnel'

i went to go down it a few years back but gave up when i couldn't get past the kneedeep pigeon bodies and excrement!
If u do go i'd ake a good torch and even better wellies!
if its of any interest look under Bridgton station and you will find a tunnel that takes you up to Parkhead

No idea if you can get into the entrance under Kelvin Hall. If you can it's
likely to be semi-permantly sealed where the new section burrows in. You
could walk in through the new section, but be warned - it's a new single
track concrete tunnel and I doubt they bothered to build in hide holes like
you get on the old tunnels. Plus I dont want to be seen encouraging
tresspassing :D
