There ARE photos of the underground platforms below the Arndale Centre.

There is a website called Urban Exploration - http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/

I will try find the photo from the guys who managed to get down there, but they explore all sorts of abandoned, unused, or never used tunnels, installations etc.

Sorry to go off topic but guys, seriously, check this;

Why is the cab of 142 059 just lying under Victoria station next to the river irk? How did it get there? What happened to it?

Why is there lightning streaking across the picture - is it a ghost??

Slow shutter speed; Someone moving about holding a torch?

Regards, 62440.

Yeah, there's no light down there, it's uninhabited, so you have to "paint" the room with a torch using a very slow shutter speed.

Still, quite weird 142 059 survives in some form, in a totally random location too! How did they even get it down there, the mind boggles.

The answer to the question about the 142 cab lies in one of the comments of this photo..........It was going to form part of a driving simulator

[Deathbyteacup]

Hmm, interesting.

You'd think you would save the bits that would actually be useful in a simulator though, ie, the actual cab, rather than the outer shell which you don't even need in a simulator.

Quite cool. I've seen something similar from other countries in Western Europe.
