Help needed to identify Tunnel & line

[Survivorsfan]

Hi

I am researching the filming locations for the 1970s TV series Survivors. In 1976 the series filmed in London and used the Underground - Bank Station and also Hanwell Station.

As the end credits roll the Survivors emerge from what appears to be a tunnel onto a stretch of line & there is a bridge ahead.

If you go to You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLJBjcO6JN0
7 minutes 26s in the credits start.

I realise that this is not a lot to go on, but does anyone recognise where it is?

Many thanks

Adrian

Google is your friend (as usual).

Hi
The 'tunnel' the cast walk out of doesnt appear to be one at Hanwell or at Bank. The list on the webpage is correct but incomplete. Thanks for the info, but it doesn't answer the query.

The tunnel has straight side walls with an arch over the top. This is fairly unusual, most have the side and roof as a continuous curve. Maybe a cut and cover rather than a mined tunnel?

My initial thoughts were Golgotha tunnel in Kent, near Shepherds Well. It has the unusual straight walls and arch roof, plus the track in the video looks as if there is only one side running through the tunnel. Golgotha has only one side of track, too. However, I think the side is wrong for it to be Golgotha, so I'm unsure.

The tunnel in which most of the action takes place is clearly a tube-type tunnel which is probably the "Camden Town deep running", as listed on the website linked to above, which I believe was part of a planned deep-level tube part-built prior to WW2 and never connected up. The tunnel they emerge from is a BR tunnel with a bit of disconnected 'continuity' between the two. The straight sides of the second tunnel implies a relatively shallow tunnel. But I regret I can't make any other identification.

Actually built as a deep-level air raid shelter during WW2, with the idea it could potentially be used as mainline loading gauge express tube after the war.
