Bradford Council has decided against moving forward with a plan to turn the disused Queenbury Tunnel into an active travel route following a feasibility report
Built in 1878 by the Great Northern Railway
the tunnel spans 2,287m between Holmfield and Queensbury in West Yorkshire
It was the longest in its network until the railway line was closed in 1956
'Urban Explorers' inside Queensbury Tunnel
The future of the Queensbury Tunnel has sparked controversy over the years
primarily driven by the Queensbury Tunnel Society and various cycling and environmental groups advocating for its restoration
Their vision includes transforming the tunnel into a greenway linking Bradford and Halifax
National Highways is contemplating abandoning the structure due to concerns regarding its deteriorating condition
which might necessitate infilling certain sections
A 2019 analysis estimated that reopening the tunnel for active travel would cost approximately £16M
with an additional £7M needed for 30 years of maintenance
the benefits were projected to be substantial
Bradford Council engaged Sustrans to explore possibilities for using the tunnel in a wider active travel network
The study considered over 150 potential routes between Halifax
leading to six viable options that incorporated both the use and non-use of the tunnel
These proposed routes were evaluated on various factors
integration with existing travel strategies
the report noted that the cost estimates for restoring the tunnel would likely be significantly higher than previous assessments
owing to inflation and increased development costs
complicating further inspections and heightening concerns about its integrity
While the council remains supportive of the tunnel’s rehabilitation in principle
the report indicates that immediate efforts will be concentrated on advancing a broader active travel network in the area
Plans are in place to enhance existing routes
including those connected to the Thornton Road Cycle Superhighway and the proposed Great North Rail Trail
Bradford Council aims to develop a District Transport Strategy that aligns with the West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan
seeking public input to prioritise major projects in the region
Bradford Council executive member for regeneration
planning and transport Alex Ross-Shaw said: “We know Queensbury Tunnel really captured people’s imagination on what might be possible
and we successfully secured funding from the last government to explore what it might cost to restore the tunnel as part of a wider active travel network
it’s not proved possible to access all parts of the tunnel as parts of it are still flooded
we know the costs as they stand would be prohibitive
We’re still supportive in principle but we have to focus on what we can affordably and realistically deliver
and we’re already making great strides on the wider active travel network between Bradford
“We’re currently delivering a cycleway from the city centre toward Thornton
and are looking at ways we can extend the Great Northern Railway Trail from Cullingworth down toward Thornton
which would be the biggest expansion of the trail in a generation
“I’d like to thank everyone who campaigned to reopen the tunnel
even though this is not the news we were hoping for
I’d also like to thank Sustrans for all their work
Their report provides a great platform for expanding our active travel network and does the best it can on the tunnel with the information available
It will be used as part of how we assess schemes for the potential for further funding
but we have to be realistic about how difficult it will be for the tunnel to be part of any future project.”
Campaigners express understanding but direct ire to National Highways
Campaigners for the greenway expressed disappointment but understanding for Bradford Council’s decision
they criticised National Highways’ management of the asset
Queensbury Tunnel Society leader Norah McWilliam said: “We’re disappointed but not surprised that the repurposing of Queensbury Tunnel has been put on the back burner and of course we get it that Bradford Council is cautious about taking on its liabilities in spite of the report’s very favourable analysis of its potential benefits
We have always maintained that the capital costs of repairing the tunnel should come from central government
“We do however have a number of serious criticisms regarding the costing for repairs to the tunnel
The stubborn lack of will on the part of National Highways to engage with the landowner at the Holmfield end
when he repeatedly and generously offered to enable dewatering of the tunnel
meant that an up-to-date inspection could not be carried out
The estimates in the report therefore can be said
“National Highways (formerly Highways England) should be held to account for the colossal waste of public money - £7M+ - preparing the tunnel for abandonment in spite of more than 8,000 objections to their planning application and their failure to comply with planning law in undertaking some of the infilling
They are an unfit organisation to have charge of this tunnel and other valuable heritage railway structures in the UK
“We urge Bradford Council to ask the Secretary of State for Transport
to protect our tunnel and other heritage assets from National Highways’ sledgehammer and to look afresh at their active travel potential in the light of climate change and the social and economic benefits they offer
but with the right attitude our fabulous Victorian tunnel can quietly wait its turn to be of benefit to future generations.”
Queensbury Tunnel Society engineering coordinator Graeme Bickerdike said: “We commend Sustrans for its detailed and insightful feasibility study
demonstrating that Queensbury Tunnel offers the only practical and attractive way of connecting Bradford District and Calderdale for active travel purposes
with a high Benefit:Cost Ratio of more than 3:1 when tourism is included
“The Council’s reported prioritisation of the so-called Alpine option - which is severely compromised from a gradient
safety and user-experience perspective - is indicative of the malaise that’s now embedded within public bodies
whereby taxpayers’ money is sacrificed on the altar of cheap
“National Highways’ technical study introduces an excessive repair costing for the tunnel
The foundations of a refurbishment scheme are already in place through the £7.2M spent unnecessarily by NH between 2018 and 2021
there is already good evidence as to what is needed to complete it and any uncertainties can be resolved through appropriate engagement with the landowner at the south end of the tunnel to secure a new agreement under which the longstanding flooding problem could be dealt with
“The study eloquently makes the case for pursuing the Queensbury Tunnel Greenway by demonstrating the clear social
heritage and tourism benefits it would bring
exaggeration and a lack of ambition that will likely determine the future of this outstanding Victorian engineering feat.”

Harry Derham has short and long-term major festival targets in mind for Queensbury Boy after the six-year-old made it two wins in as many starts over hurdles under his owner-rider David Maxwell
Bought for £130,000 after winning a Castlelands point-to-point
Queensbury Boy is now three from four under rules
having justified odds of 2-5 in the 2m4½f novice hurdle
“The only horse that’s beaten him is Wingmen
who has placed in a couple of Grade 1s and is rated 139,” Derham told Sky Sports Racing
Derham has already enjoyed success in Ireland this term courtesy of Washington’s Listed win at Fairyhouse in December and he could run Queensbury Boy at the Punchestown festival for the second season in a row
“He ran very well at Punchestown last year and while it’s a big step up in grade
he has class and he’s also fresh,” the trainer said
“A lot of these talented horses have had tough winters
Derham added: “He’s a novice until the autumn
so the Persian War will definitely be in our mind
I know one of David’s dreams is to win the Cheltenham hunter chase
but hopefully he’ll be that standard one day.”

Cabinet members at West Suffolk Council have said they hope the owners of Queensbury Lodge will soon begin its restoration after a scheme was approved today
West Suffolk Council has today granted listed building consent and planning approval to applications on behalf of Unex Group for a scheme of restoration works to take place on the Grade II listed lodge
and stables on the edge of Newmarket high street
The restoration fits in with the delivery of West Suffolk Council’s strategic priority for sustainable growth
“I am delighted with today’s decision and hope to see the owners progress the scheme soon,” said Cllr Jim Thorndyke
“Our ambition has always been for the restoration of the Queensbury Lodge Yard.”
“It is why we stepped in to carry out works under an Urgent Works Notice in November 2020 to ensure the buildings were weather-tight and safe from collapse
preventing them from further deterioration.”
following on from the planning inspector’s decision in August last year
we have been working with the listed building specialists Unex appointed in November to give them the appropriate advice and support so that applications for the restoration could come forward.”
The news has also been welcomed by Cllr Indy Wijenayaka
and my hope is that we won’t have to wait long to see work begin to deliver this restoration at long last,” he said
“For too long these Grade II listed buildings have stood derelict and neglected
an eyesore at one of the very gateways into Newmarket High Street
The people and businesses of Newmarket deserve better
that this positive approach will continue with the owners starting work on this restoration in the very near future to improve this gateway into Newmarket for the benefit of the residents and businesses in the town
