An 8 coach train, with emu 350329 leading approaches the south portal of Linslade Tunnel. The train is on the Down Slow line. There are three tunnels at this location, a single bore one on the left, a double one in the middle and another single bore on the right. The double track tunnel is the original London & Birmingham Railway one opened in 1837; the single bores were added, the left (east) in 1859 and the right (west) in 1876.
