Ride leader: Helen Simpson

Meet at the Raggalds at 12 noon for a steady ride along lanes round and about passing Thornton Primary School at 1.30 (if anyone wants to meet there) to head along the Great Northern Railway Trail to Queensbury tunnel to meet up with supporters of “save the tunnel” (2pm) and take a look from the outside. After photos etc we will ride back to the Raggalds. Short Refreshment stop at 1pm on route.

Unique opportunity to glimpse inside Queensbury Tunnel! (from the Northern Portal).

The contractors will have the gates open and the lights on.
Come and show your support for the restoration of the tunnel – let your imagination soar! (Sorry, you won’t be able to go inside – yet!)

This is a chance to see how this fantastic heritage feature could be transformed into a cycle/walkway, extending the Great Northern Railway Trail, drawing visitors to a lovely pocket of Bradford’s landscape and connecting communities. Its potential for leisure, sporting, educational and cultural events is for us to imagine! For more information visit https://www.facebook.com/queensburytunnel
