I notice that one small part of this project has now happened - there
is now a new, devious, subway from the northern end of the Picc
platforms leading to the existing route to the Vic and TL platforms.
The old subway is closed off. Obviously this has been done to allow
the route from the new ticket hall to the Picc and other platforms to
be constructed but the new subway is part of the final plan.
I noticed this the other day, haven't had a look yet though. I assume the
subway joins the exsisting tunnel further down?

What's happening to the tunnel that's closed off?

More to the point , why has it been closed off? Why not just have 2
tunnels to lessen the crowding at platform level?
