Engineers gave exclusive access to visit a miniature house, located deep in the tunnels of Liverpool Lime Street station, which can only be accessed when trains aren’t running.
The historic hut was built more than 100 years ago by track workers to take their tea breaks. There’s a fireplace and an old kettle, cup and tongs are still in place, preserved in time.
Graeme Whitehead, Network Rail project manager, said: “In years gone by track maintenance gangs would have come here, they’d have had their lunch, a cup of coffee, lit the fire, and waited in between trains.
“We have no plans to do anything with it, it will stay here, it’s protected beneath the tunnels and will remain locked in history forever more.”
