Linslade Tunnel

Q16996369




Linslade Tunnel is a railway tunnel in Bedfordshire, England, on the West Coast Main Line about 0.54 miles (0.9 km) north of Leighton Buzzard railway station and built under Linslade Woods. Consisting of three individual bores, the tunnel is the only one on the London and Birmingham Railway to have been built on a bend. This was necessitated by the refusal of local landowners to allow the railway to pass closer to Leighton Buzzard, where the river has created a gap in the Greensand Ridge.
