  I’m actually a train driver and drive through the tunnel parallel to that each day.<br><br>It was interesting for me to get a bit of history of the tunnel.

  The most amazing part of the story is a 12 year old boy having the responsibility to walk across the Pennines four times a day in all weathers for 37 years!!! These stories should never be forgotten, as this great country was built on the back these people and they were a different breed!!!

  I had my doubts that a 22-minute video inside a tunnel would be interesting, but you proved me wrong. &nbsp;I smiled the whole way through - as I do with all your videos. &nbsp;Your delight and wonder are infectious (in the best possible way) and your authenticity, kindness, and humour shine through all your videos. &nbsp;Congrats on your excellent work, Mike. &nbsp;Carry on - and happy holidays from a fellow Vancouverite. &nbsp;🙂

  This is such a mixture of feelings... The joy of real Yorkshire accents, the fascination of learning so much and the horror of the claustrophobia!!!!!!

  As a Brit I love our canals. I&apos;ve done it twice now for a holiday and loved it. This channel can only promote it even more. I highly recommend it. Also the guys that look after the canals deserve so much praise for the way they look after them. The majority are volunteers as well. Great series m8

  These guys are such lovely goofballs but you can tell they know their stuff and don’t play around with their job. Fascinating to see the workers aspect and knowledge.

  As a retired Cameraman I am constantly amazed at how well you use that camera of yours even in tight places like a tunnel !!!. I have watched MANY vids on the English canals and coverage of the Standedge Tunnel but none of them were as informative as your coverage. For a &quot; one man show&quot; you do a fantastic job. I guess Nicole declined to do the trip with you, pity she missed a great journey. Max. Australia.

  I grew up very near to this tunnel and remember as a child standing at the Marsden end and hearing about the work underway to reopen it for the first time since the forties. Great that you&apos;ve shown the world how spectacular it is inside.

  That was absolutely fantastic mike. I dont know what you do for a living but i would certainly back you all the way as a tv presenter! &nbsp;I love the way you listen to the info which is being told to you and you remember it. Fantastic

  What a brilliant youtube description. We came from New Zealand in 2019 and spent 5 weeks on the UK canal system. We also travelled &nbsp;through the tunnel twice, because the Southern Peninne Ring route was not able to be traversed because of lock closures on the Rochdale canal. I had to steer the narrowboat through each way, the first time our chaperone was Trevor and the return journey was with Alaister. Great to see Trevor again. The Canal &amp; River Trust guys are such a dedicated and knowedgeable bunch. I wonder if Trevor is still driving his MGB?
