'Magic' Liverpool tunnel that people know has seen generations of Liverpool lives

An "atmospheric" tunnel that's a throwback to the past has sparked memories for generations of Liverpool commuters.

Many people have admitted to not knowing the long passageway to James Street underground station even exists. The subterranean passageway, accessed through an unassuming set of doors on the side of India buildings, is only open during peak hours on weekdays.

The passageway has been there since James Street Station was built in 1886. Together with Hamilton Square underground station in Birkenhead (which also has a similar tunnel now only used in emergencies), they are the oldest deep level underground stations in the world.
