Box from end to end

My picture of a train bursting out of the West portal of Box Tunnel - taken a year or two back - come up as one of the top hits on Google.
But Box tunnel has two ends ... and this morning when I visited my dentist who practises there (Corsham), I drove over the road near to it and stopped. A little in the distance - but see the train in the tunnel, and indeed you can see right through!It is said that on Brunel's Birthday, the rising sun shines right through .. I don't know about that, but the story's a nice one.
