ISTR the Severn Tunnel had very severe damp problems.


I wouldn't be surprised if Reading becomes the equivalent of Bedford on
the MML. Even though it would make sense to continue the wires no one can
be bothered.

From what I have read in this thread, the wires will go right thru to
Bristol and South Wales. I am curious about the current state of the
Severn Tunnel.
