Nicely lit, you do find it tends to get rather dark in tunnels!
Do you know what it was built for originally?

This railway tunnel was part of the Great Northern Railway. It was on the route that connected Queensbury Station to the City of Bradford. If you are interested in more history of the GNR routes in the area, just Google 'Clayton Railway Tunnel' - there is plenty of info.
