Possibly now, but looking at the design of the tunnel, it started life as a railway tunnel - look on the left wall at the refuges equally spaced right along the length of it dead giveaway

I did wonder about that mate...

Just didn't expect to see a train tunnel flooded. Stranger things have happened I suppose

looks more like a bit of railway track to me, but it's still a question of how they got it through the window

perhaps it's not as heavy as it would first appear, the door doesn't seem to have suffered from it

Deffo a train tunnel.

And not that rare for disused ones to get wet/flooded, some are a good few feet deep in water, that ones just got a few puddles.

That girder would be easy picked up by 2-3 people.

Be interesting to know the background of when n where that pic was taken tho.
