HS2 Tunnels at Long Itchington Woods

In Warwickshire, HS2 are building a tunnel just to the south of Leamington Spa, underneath Long Itchington Woods. They invited us along to go and have a look inside the TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) and get up close to meet the staff who work there and operate it.

CORRECTION: I state that i'm at the southern portal, but i'm actually at the northern end!
