By Harry Mottram: Sustrans said they are working hard to pump out the Devonshire Tunnel after flood water has closed the tunnel on The Two Tunnels Greenway. The problem appears to be a blocked drain allowing water to build up meaning a long diversion around Lyncombe Vale. However the rest of the Greenway is open.
The Two Tunnels Greenway was fully opened in 2013 after a long campaign to turn the former Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway line into a shared use path connecting Midford to Twerton in Bath
In 2010 a steering group was formed to take the project forward with the operating of the route handed to Sustrans – the cycling charity – who are currently working with the authorities to reopen the tunnel.
