We have two places available on the Mersey Tunnel Tour which Let’s Go can now offer to the wider U3A. Full details are below. If you wish to come, please contact Jacky, email letsgosouthportu3a@gmail.com
Steve Birchall is running a tour of the Mersey Tunnel on Thursday 15th June at 11am. The price is £8 which is good value as prices have increased since we booked. Please note we have committed the funding and if booked, you will lose your money if you cancel and we cannot fill the places.
Travel will be by train and details arranged in due course.Starting at George’s Dock Building the tour will take approx two hours.
As well as learning about the construction of the tunnel, you will visit the original control room, see giant ventilation fans in action and go down to watch the traffic in the tunnel, deep below the city streets. You will also find out which Hollywood movies the tunnel has featured in!
Please note – there are a lot of steps to walk up and down during the tour and therefore it is not suitable for people with mobility, breathing and sight difficulties.
