    I have lived in Sheffield for 84 years and never knew this was under the station,thank you. You are never too old to learn,

    I've been many times to Sheffield Midland station when I worked on the railway, but I never dreamt that there was the river underneath, and all that assortment of tunnels and bridges going quite some way. That Megatron is completely stunning in size. The amount of building materials must have been colossal in the construction. It must have been quite difficult to fit Sheffield Midland station in amongst the city buildings at the time of its construction, only the original line of the North Midland railway from Derby to Leeds was much earlier and went via the east of the city. Very well filmed, Darren, and many thanks for this showing.

    I often use platform 5A and wondered why there were wooden trapdoor style pieces in the floor. Thought they were good old cellar entrances lol. Knew a lot of the sheaf and stuff are under ground but I never knew they went straight under the train station - cool to see what’s under there!

    I am a from Sheffield but I didn't know about these tunnels. Sheffield is full of rivers and canals though and I still have quite spooky dreams of being next to a river with lots of discarded items in it. It must be due to peering over old walls to look at the rivers in the city centre and seeing trolleys, bicycles and tyres!

    Great video, fascinating underground infrastructure. As a water engineer I often see it on a map, but never in the flesh. Explorers see more of the tunnels than most of us do, unless lucky enough to tag along on a confined space expedition (with a damn sight more onerous H+S and a two day course...). I do believe, from a recent visit to the Blonk Street flats for the snooker, that the last few hundred metres of the culvert are to be de-culverted as part of a regeneration scheme for the horrible old 50s/60s derelicts at Castlegate Park. This video will then become an interesting retrospective!

    Those arches remind me of when me and the wife went to see a once in a lifetime chance to go inside an old underground reservoir near Chorley, I think it was 2014/15
    They were capping it off for good (new houses going on top 😢)
    We got a brochure from it and some amazing photos, and memories
    It was “back lane at whittle le woods)
    It was huge and the brick arches inside were so ornate.

    I think it was a Martin Zero video I watched and commented about the entrance where the Sheaf went underground. I used to regularly visit Sheaf House 8 storey office block to maintain the boilers located in a sub-basement. The river went underground via a trash screen with an automated scraper. One school holiday period kids were playing on the trash screen and someone switched off the scraper in case it injured one of the kids. Problem was he forgot to switch it back on again. Heavy rainfall followed and the screen blocked with trash. The water level rose so the station was flooded along with the boiler house in the sub basement of sheaf house.
