Gonna have an attempt at this, got some good Tunnels in Mossley and the First Transpennine Express fleet have beautiful livery for taking pictures of.

For this, can we have trains that have left the tunnel and are some yards clear or must at least some of the train be in it?

Does the tunnel have to be in clear shot, like fully inside shot of the tunnel or can we take from the top of a tunnel with clear indication the train is going into the tunnel?

Alright thanks for the heads up matey. Unsure whether to do a night sure or not.

I might not be in a position to enter this but I still intend to. I have been doing much better of late (three or even four in a row entries have scored I believe?), so why not? I am rather confident here...

I wish the train requirement didn't exist though.

Wow, that's amazing. Don't know if I'd wanna risk my life in a tunnel though!

It was taken by someone who had permission to be lineside and he used a telephoto from outside the other end (Duffield Tunnel is not very long!!)

I set out to get some shots at Welwyn North today, but useless London Midland and FCC staff ensured I didn't, so I've had to go for what would have contested the Welwyn North shots as first choice. Luckily, it's not that bad ;)

Almost forgot to enter this week! Should be making an entry in a bit, just got to try and find a photo that fits the theme. I know I have some somewhere, but where is an entirely different matter!

Aye, I'm lucky I got online this afternoon and not later on tonight! Managed to find a modest entry for this theme, harder to find some phots than I thought. Everywhere I had photos where there's tunnels, I didn't have a phot showing the tunnel! Still, managed to find one entry at least!
