All three tunnels in the Soudley valley (on the GWR Cinderford branch) are bricked up. This includes the 1064 yard Bullo Tunnel. Fortunately, not too much time was wasted walking between car and tunnel. It's a real pain to walk a long way to get thwarted. I managed to get one interior shot of the Brinchcombe tunnel from a tiny hole in the brickwork at ground level. The wall is amusingly daubed with 'DANGER' but examination of the pic shows no evidence of collapse. There are a total of five tunnels on the Cinderford Branch. Bullo - 1064 yards, Bradley Hill - approx 250m, Brinchcombe - approx 170m, Drybrook - approx 150m (this one is completely backfilled) and Puddlebrook - approx 550m. The Engineering code from Bullo Junction to Cinderford Station was FOD. From Cinderford to Grange Court, the code was CIB.
