tell me about it mate you should try and explain to a company to re-emburse ya for the tunnel fee with out a receipt or ticket to prove you been through the bleedin things well all i know is gettin expences paid back for usin the tunnels from our company its like gettin blood out of a stone
On the subject of the tunnel, I often wondered how the traffic flowed out of that first exit tunnel, crossing over the oncoming traffic. Not sure if you've seen this pic, can't see this working at all today:
They used lights,I think when they got the Wallasey tunnel running that's when they closed it,anybody ever cycle through the tunnel used to do it early Sunday morning going to work in Liverpool,it was fun well if the wing mirrors didn't clip you on the back or behind.

You can still cycle through Queensway between certain hours if I'm not mistaken
I used to cycle through Queensway regularly in about 1955 when I was working in Liverpool. In those days I was very fit & used to ride from home to Chester & back most evenings just to keep in trim.
In the early 60's I was at college in Childwall. On the couple of nights a week I stayed late, I'd cycle back through the tunnel. I think cyclists were allowed through after 7pm (?) Outbound was via the ferry.
Great for half the journey, but..... I was obviously not as fit as Chris Boardman-Kay as I thought the uphill grind was never going to end ! I was weary enough after Childwall-Prenton, never mind cycling to Chester and back after work.
As davew3 rightly said, those wing mirrors of passing cars were out to get you ! One mistimed wobble and you were catmeat ! The noise and the exhaust fumes weren't a barrel of laughs either.
