Blight At The End Of The Tunnel

Maybe He Was Waiting For A Train

A German motorist mistook an underground train tunnel for a road and drove 200 metres along the track. The man, who faces drink-driving charges, said that despite the bumpy ride he had not noticed anything was wrong until the car ground to a halt when the suspension collapsed.

Badly Trained

Blight At The End Of The Tunnel

Bungling engineers have been left red-faced after building a railway tunnel that's too small for trains to actually fit through. The costly mistake was only discovered when inspectors measured the finished tunnel in the Polish capital, Warsaw, and realised the roof was so low that no trains would get under it.
