Should've said you were visiting Mr B, I might have tried to join you for a ride; than again, maybe that's why you didn't say anything!

There's a programme available on Channel 5 catch-up, 'Walking Britain's Lost Railways', that had an episode on the Bath to Burnham (Somerset, not Essex) line that ran through the tunnels.
