Hockley Tunnels
Hockley Tunnels are two tunnels used by the railway and tram in Hockley, Birmingham, England. Tunnel No. 1 is 136 yards long and Tunnel No. 2 is 160 yards long.〔R.A. Cooke, ''Track layout Diagrams of the GWR and BR WR - Section 31, West Midlands''. R.A. Cooke, 1978, pp. 25-6〕
==History==
The tunnels were built by the Great Western Railway on the line between Snow Hill station in Birmingham and Wolverhampton Low Level station in Wolverhampton, and were two of the three tunnels on that route, the other being Black Lake Tunnel. The Snow Hill to Wolverhampton line was opened on 14th November 1854.〔R. Christiansen, A Regional History of the Railways of Great Britain - Vol. 7 the West Midlands.David and Charles, 1973, p.71〕
At first, the tunnels carried two mixed-gauge tracks. In 1908-9 they were widened and two additional tracks were laid parallel to and south of the original lines and were designated as "relief", the original tracks becoming the "main" lines.〔Cooke, p.26〕
The tunnels became disused with the closure of Snow Hill station in March 1972.
