A walk through the ‘Marble Arch’ tunnel

A very short film. You’ll need the sound enabled, to hear the train going over.

On the evening of the solstice we were out for a walk and passed through here. It’s not the most pleasant place in York, but it’s certainly atmospheric, particularly when the trains go over while you’re in it. There’s a bit where you’re not enclosed as much by the whiteness as a dark space looms above your head. This has pigeons roosting in it, hence the pause and change of camera angle at one point.

If that doesn’t appeal, here’s a still image instead.

And yes, there was a light at the end of the tunnel, as people always say there is.
