I saw there are to be floodlit visits to a section of the East London Line tunnel.
How do I book these through the Brunel museum website (I can find no link) or do you turn up on the day

THIS page on the Brunel Museum website states that there are plans for 2013, but no dates yet... So my suggestion would be to revisit the site regularly... Regards ChrisW

From Brunel Museum website: Floodlit Thames Tunnel From time to time, we organise unusual metro journeys, courtesy of London Overground. On special days, enjoy stunning views from the platform at Wapping and look down from the platform through the lighted arches of the old fairground. Before you travel to Wapping, call at Rotherhithe and stoop through the narrow doorway to descend into the secret chamber. This is the Grand Entrance Hall, where Brunel nearly drowned. Meet at the Museum for your timed entry into the secret chamber. Collect at the Museum your information sheet for a self-guided train tour under the River Thames. Next dates are: Sunday 18 & 25 Nov 12.00-17.00 Sunday 2,9,16,23 Dec 12.00-17.00 Bring a travel card or ticket valid for the journey. www.brunel-museum.org.uk/events/floodlit-thames-tunnel/Hope this helps. |

Oh I see, so you just turn up on the day.

No, the last tunnel walk was incredibly oversubscribed so it almost certainly won't just be a turn up affair. As ChrisW said, keep checking the website.

Where does it say there's a tunnel walk? All I can see is a train journey, the usual views from the platforms, and (the only unusual bit) a chance to visit the "secret" Grand Entrance.
